Officers responded to the collision at 9:12 p.m. Saturday on Lower Sacramento Road, just north of Vine Street, police said.

The vehicle’s driver remained at the scene and cooperated with officers, police said. Officers determined the driver was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol, according to a post on the police department's Facebook page.

The motorcycle rider has been identified as 22-year-old Skylar Harr, according to Lodi police Sgt. Steve Maynard.

“Skylar was loved by so many,” she wrote on Gofundme. “With this gofundme account it is to help give him the funeral he deserves and help his family out in this difficult time. We all need to come together as one and help out.
