At around 1:30 p.m. on August 13, Brooke Shambeck, 56, was driving her motorcycle near Joplin Rd. near Mile Marker 18, when she lost control of her bike in a sharp turn, according to the Prince William County Police Department.
Shambeck crossed the double yellow lines and subsequently drove into a tree off the road, law enforcement said.
She was transported to a local hospital where she later died of her injuries, police reported.
"Physically, I am shaking. Emotionally, I am empty. I have no words."
Shambeck's husband, Jim, posted on her Facebook page to let friends know she had lost her life, and that she crashed during a charity ride.
No additional vehicles or individuals were harmed in the crash, officials said.
