Fatal Geneva car crash death of Eric Gardner
The Kane County coroner has identified the man killed in a fatal motorcycle accident over the weekend in Geneva. Authorities have determined the deceased is Eric Gardner, a 40-year-old resident of Sycamore. The incident occurred on Sunday morning on Geneva’s western side. Mr. Gardner died when his motorcycle lost control and crashed. The accident happened just after 6:30 a.m. on westbound Fabyan Parkway. He apparently veered across several lanes of traffic and then struck an embankment near the intersection with Wenmoth and Kaneville roads. First responders were called to the scene after a driver of another vehicle noticed the crash. Medical professionals confirmed the man was deceased at the location. The official determination regarding the exact cause and manner of Mr. Gardner’s death is still pending. Law enforcement and the county’s medical examiner’s office are continuing to investigate the incident. Further tests, including toxicology screenings, are required before any official conclusions can be reached.
