Trista J. Dettrey (Myers), 38 most recently of the 5100 block of Susquehanna Trail North in York, died at the scene of the crash at 6:54 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 16, as certified by Deputy Coroner Michelle Rau.
The fatal crash happened near 535 York Road near the intersection of Pleasant Drive around 6:17 p.m., according to Coroner Pam Gay's release.
Trista was going north on the road when she lost control for an unknown reason and crossed into the southbound lane, Newberry Township police told the coroner.
As her motorcycle skidded out, and Trista and the bike slammed down — she was struck by another rider's motorcycle.
The condition of the other rider is unknown.
Trista's autopsy happened at Lehigh Valley Hospital at 8 a.m. on Dec. 18 but her cause and manner of death were still pending at the time of publication.
Trista was a Lewisberry native who attended Red Land High School, according to her social media profiles. She lived in Dover and Manchester before settling in York.
She loved her pitbull "Lulu," spending time with friends and family, and motorcycles, according to her social media accounts.
Several years Trista's mom Cheryl wrote the following in a Facebook post for her birthday reading in part:
"Through all the years of watching you grow into the incredible woman that you are today, I can honestly say that i am so so very proud of the woman that you have become. You have endured so much and have an incredible strength to over come lifes challenges, no matter what it throws at you. Your courage and strength is impeccable. I cant honestly say that i dont miss the days of your pig tails and frilly dresses, scraped knees and the little heart aches of child hood,your first day of school, your first crush and everything that you over came to get where you are today.No matter what you do, or where you go in life, you will always be my baby girl.You will always be my first love, my best friend."
