The crash happened at 7:05 p.m. Saturday on Little Richmond Road at North Lutheran Church Road. The driver involved is cooperating with the investigation, Trotwood police stated in a release on Monday.
In the 9-1-1 call, the driver told police that Parker was riding her bike in the street, but the driver didn’t see her due to the sun in their eyes.
Parker was pronounced dead at the scene.
President Eric Spina said that Parker was a visual arts major who also was minoring in human rights studies and Spanish. She was active with the Moral Courage Project, according to Spina’s release.
Because of the coronavirus pandemic and an outbreak on the UD campus, officials planned an open Zoom meeting Monday from 7 to 8 p.m. as a group gathering to mourn Parker’s death. Campus ministers and counselors were enlisted to support students and staff.
Spina said Parker is part of an extended UD alumni family, and he extended sympathy and prayers to her family, friends and the campus community.
“We pray for comfort and peace for each of you,” Spina wrote.
