Brown was northbound on a bicycle near Camp-A-While at approximately
10:20 p.m. Friday. He lived on 1235th Avenue. A car driven by a
rural Lincoln 16-year-old, also northbound, struck him. She escaped
serious injury.
There was also a car southbound that probably did not play a
factor in the incident, Sheriff Steve Nichols said.
Brown was an employee of the Lincoln College maintenance
department and he detasseled corn.
No citations or charges are expected to be filed. "We are
treating this as an unfortunate and very tragic accident," Nichols
said.
Illinois State Police accident reconstructionists are
investigating.
