A 41-year-old Bloomington man is dead after a motorcycle crash Thursday night in northeast Normal.

The crash happened east of Raab Road and North Pointe Drive, said McLean County Coroner Kathy Davis. Richard A. Jones, the sole rider on the motorcycle, was taken to OSF St. Joseph Medical Center in Bloomington, where he was pronounced dead around 7:35 p.m., Davis said.

Preliminary autopsy results indicate Jones died from multiple blunt injuries after crashing his motorcycle into a concrete barrier. Toxicology results are pending.

The crash remains under investigation by the coroner's office and Normal police.
