Hundreds gather for Marissa Younk memorial ride

LEE COUNTY, Fla.- Hundreds of motorcyclists gathered Saturday to honor a friend who died in a motorcycle crash.

Marissa Younk was 20 years old when she crashed her motorcycle in Bonita Springs about two weeks ago off of Imperial Parkway.

Authorities say Younk was traveling at a high rate of speed when she lost control of her motorcycle and crashed.

According to several of her friends, Younk had been part of a small all female group of motorcyclists known as the “Ride-Or-Die-Chicks.”

Friends have setup a GoFundMe page for Marissa to help pay for her funeral costs.
