The truck was driven by a 39-year-old man from Foosland, who was traveling eastbound on East Ford Harris Road at the time of the incident.
According to Urbana Police, the driver of a semi-truck was making a left turn when he failed to yield to oncoming northbound traffic.
One motorcyclist sustained fatal injuries and was later pronounced dead at a local hospital.
Authorities are currently reconstructing the incident, which has required a complete closure of the northbound lanes.
This enforcement effort was funded by federal traffic safety dollars administered through the Illinois Department of Transportation.
The victim was transported to a local hospital, where he remains in serious condition, authorities said.
Lt. Courtney Moravek was discharged late Sunday morning, spokesperson Randy Smith confirmed.
