A motorcycle rider was killed in a two-vehicle accident Thursday afternoon near Emden.

29-year-old Dean Lowe of Emden was pronounced dead at the scene by the Logan County Coroner.

According to the coroner, Lowe was on his way to work in Pekin about 1:20 yesterday afternoon when he collided with a fertilizer spreader truck which was making a left-hand turn from U.S. 136 onto a county road.

The driver of the truck was not injured.

Illinois State Police are still investigating the accident. Police say Lowe was not wearing a helmet.
