Memorial service plans for a woman who died days after being critically injured in a motorcycle crash in southern San Luis Obispo County have been finalized.
Krisanna Parke, 41, of Santa Maria, died Nov. 17, her family said.
Parke was the passenger of a motorcycle that crashed into a truck Thompson Avenue Nov. 10 when a truck attempted to turn left from Wineman Road on Nov. 10 north of Santa Maria.
The motorcycle driver, Mark Bradford Hurd, 42, also of Santa Maria, was driving the motorcycle and was killed in the Nipomo crash.
The truck driver, John Ricker, 62, of Arroyo Grande, failed to observe the motorcycle approaching the intersection and pulled directly into the bike’s path, the California Highway Patrol said.
Hurd was unable to avoid the truck, and the front of the motorcycle crashed into the left side of the truck, ejecting Hurd and Parke from the bike, the CHP said.
The crash investigation remains ongoing, CHP Officer Mike Poelking said Wednesday.
Family members said Parke was airlifted to Fresno for more specialized medical care, but the woman died Nov. 17.
A memorial service is planned for 11 a.m. Dec. 15 at Coast Valley Worship Center, 2548 S. Broadway.
The family has established a GoFundMe page available by clicking here.
Arrangements are under the care of Dudley-Hoffman Mortuary.
