Around 10:28 p.m., Aug. 3, Sheppard was one of two motorcyclists eastbound on Austin Road when Sheppard's motorcycle clipped the saddlebag on her friend's bike, causing her to lose control, cross center, and strike a curb. She was thrown from her bike.
She was transported to a local hospital where she was originally listed in critical condition.
The other driver was arrested on suspicion of operating a vehicle while impaired. Charges are pending the results of a blood test.
