The crash happened around 6:30 p.m. on Northwest Highway near Waterman in Arlington Heights, police said.

A silver 2020 Hyundai Elantra and a red 2017 Harley Davidson were westbound on Northwest Highway.

As they approached Waterman, a blue 2010 Genesis coupe traveling east veered left and collided with the Hyundai and the motorcycle.

The motorcycle rider died at the scene, despite the efforts of first responders.

A 16-year-old was driving the blue Genesis. The teenager was cited for failure to yield the right of way while turning left and failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident.

The teenager, who has not been identified, is due in court on November 21.

No other injuries were reported.
