FULTON, Ill. -- A 21-year-old Fulton man was hospitalized in very critical condition this morning after he was involved in a motorcycle accident near here, Whiteside County Sheriff’s deputies said.
Authorities said Alan Barsema was southbound on Elston Road – south of Fulton – about 1:30 a.m. today when he lost control of his motorcycle. Barsema was thrown several feet. He was not wearing a helmet.
The accident occurred on Elston Road, North of U.S. Route 30.
