He then traveled down a ravine and struck a utility pole – cutting it in half.” Torres said the Coroner indicated that Criss was killed instantly upon impact.

My husband was on his way home from work and seen a helmet in the road. We are bikers so he stopped to make sure no one was hurt. That is when he seen the bike and called 911 immediately. Our deepest condolences to Mr. Criss' family. May God wrap his arms of comfort around you & yours. God bless you all.
