The police are probing the cause of the crash.
Jessica was from Palmira, Colombia, but had recently moved to Cali, where the accident happened.
She played as a goalkeeper for Angels FC Candelaria and Club Deportivo Femenino Palmira.
She reportedly dreamt of making it as a top athlete and playing for the Colombia women’s team.
The footballer was known for her philanthropic actions as she organised amateur women’s football tournaments in her home city and held raffles to raise money for the poor.
Her former coach, Germenson Arias, told local media: “She was a person with good projects. She was full of initiative, had a bright future, and had good dreams.”
Angels FC Candelaria said in a tribute: “Jessica Ramos, that noble and incredible woman who brightened our moments with her laughter.
“No matter who the opponent was, you were never afraid and always roused the team! Rest in peace.”
The shocking footage taken in the aftermath of the crash shows the lorry and the toppled motorbike as well as a car with a crumpled boot.
However, it is not clear how the third vehicle ended up damaged following the crash on Monday.
The case is in the hands of the Public Prosecutor’s Office.
