A preliminary investigation revealed a Ford Escort being driven by a 65-year-old Downers Grove woman was stopped in the inside lane of southbound Route 12 because of a mechanical issue.

A Harley-Davidson Tri Glide Ultra Classic, which was being driven by 69-year-old Joseph Siano of Northbrook, was traveling in that same lane and struck the Ford. The motorcycle rolled several times, ejecting the man and his wife, Laura Siano, 63, of Northbrook.

The couple was transported to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville, where Laura Siano was pronounced dead from blunt force injuries.

Joseph Siano was later pronounced dead on July 22 from complications of blunt force injuries, according to the Lake County medical examiner's office.

The driver of the Ford and her passenger, a 67-year-old Naperville woman, were not injured in the crash.

The investigation is ongoing.
