DeKALB | Two DeKalb residents were involved in a fatal car/motorcycle crash Tuesday afternoon.

Daniel Christophe Jr., a 19-year-old accountancy major, was on a motorcycle traveling southbound on Garden Road and was struck at the intersection of Garden Road and Northern Lane.

The driver of the car, Caitlin Wood, was traveling northbound on Garden Road and attempted to make a left turn onto Northern Lane when she hit Christophe. Wood and Christophe were both taken to Kishwaukee Community Hospital. Christophe was later pronounced dead and Wood was treated for minor injuries.

DeKalb police Sgt. Wes Hoadley said Wood told police she didn’t see the motorcycle approaching. Hoadley said Christophe was wearing a helmet, and Wood was later ticketed.

Witnesses told police Christophe appeared to be driving normally.

Christophe was a Student Association senator. Friends of Christophe held a memorial for him in the Campus Life Building.
