Kurt A. Regnier called 911 twice after an accident and died after police and rescue workers couldn't find him. Regnier first called at 1:28 a.m. and said he'd been in a motorcycle accident in a cornfield, but didn't know where. He called again at 1:36 a.m., relaying the same information and pleading for help. Personnel from Boone, Winnebago and McHenry counties searched without success, police said. At 5:37 a.m., a motorist saw the crash scene and called police. According to police, Regnier and his motorcycle were partially obscured by the corn. A coroner's jury said Regnier's death was accidental.
