Jeffrey Parks was headed westbound at about 25 mph on Oakdale Road in rural Templeton when he hit a culvert and flew off his bike. Even though Parks was wearing a helmet, the crash rendered him unconscious.
First responders attempted lifesaving measures, but Parks died from blunt force trauma.
CHP officers are investigating the crash.
It actually happened today. Jeff was a bike club member and is survived by his wife who was with him on the ride. Very sad.
