Oregon State Police identified the woman killed in a crash involving a motorcycle and a car Thursday afternoon north of Sunriver.

Lisa Michele Tomlin Grall, 53, from southeast Portland, died at the scene of the wreck on U.S. Highway 97 near Lava Butte.

At around 5:30 p.m., a northbound motorcycle carrying Grall and operated by Phillip Martin Branum, 62, of La Pine, collided with a northbound car driven by Cory L. McBride, 27, of Tuscon, Ariz. The motorcycle struck the concrete center divider and came to rest several hundred feet from the point of impact, while the car landed on its top off the side of the highway, state police said.

Branum and McBride were both transported to St. Charles Bend with non-life threatening injuries.
