Thompson was northbound on Illinois Route 29, taking the on-ramp to
Interstate 55 northbound. According to witnesses, she took her eyes
off the roadway to check on another motorcycle she was traveling
with and lost control. Her motorcycle left the east side of the
roadway, striking the embankment. She was thrown from the motorcycle
and came to rest in the ditch.
Troopers responding to the scene administered CPR and were able
to open her airway and regain a pulse. Her condition was unknown at
the time of this report.
Assisting at the scene were Illinois State Police, Springfield
Area Ambulance and Springfield Fire Department.
