“They were pretty upset about it. There was [sic] a few people that know her personally. A few of them broke down," said classmate Jesse Rhodes.

Too distraught to play, fellow orchestra member Jesse Rhodes told News 9 the director gave the students the day off from playing.

"He was just saying how basically we just lost one of our members, one of our orchestra members, and was really upset about it," said Rhodes.

Loreane Ingram was a sophomore violinist in the Edmond North orchestra.

Ingram was riding on the back of a motorcycle headed east on 2nd Street Monday night when a car attempted to make a u-turn on Vista Lane.

Police said Ingram was thrown off the motorcycle and a third car traveling westbound hit her.

Ingram died at the scene of the crash.

"The motorcycle at this point would have no reason to, you know, going eastbound on 2nd Street to expect someone to pull a u-turn ," said Jenny Monroe, Edmond police spokesperson.

At this time no charges or tickets have been issued.
