A man was critically injured in a motorcycle crash Saturday afternoon in Chicago's far northwestern suburbs.

Marengo Fire & Rescue District crews responded to the crash around 3:20 p.m. near County Line Road and Harmony Road in unincorporated McHenry County near Marengo.

Crews found a motorcycle in a ditch, and a bystander was administering CPR to the man who had been riding the motorcycle, officials said.

Paramedics called a helicopter to the scene, but due to the severity of the victim's injuries, instead took him to a local hospital by ambulance.

The McHenry County Sheriff's Office was investigating the cause of the crash.
