Summary
- A 22-year-old motorcyclist died on his way to work.
- He was an organ donor, giving his eyes to two people.
- Over 100 motorcyclists honored him with a memorial ride.
A fatal motorcycle crash on Staten Island last Tuesday morning tragically ended the life of 22-year-old Jordan Yulfo. He was reportedly on his way to his job as a Snapple deliveryman when his 2006 Harley Davidson collided with a 2017 Ford Fusion on Arthur Kill Road.
Authorities stated the collision occurred as the sedan driver made a left turn. Yulfo, who was ejected from his motorcycle, sustained fatal injuries. Despite the severe damage from the crash, his family confirmed he was an organ donor. His eyes were successfully donated to two recipients, a testament to his selfless nature.
Loved ones described Yulfo as a vibrant individual with a "heart of gold" and a "million dollar smile." His brother noted that an app on Yulfo's phone indicated he was traveling at 34 mph in a 30-mph zone just before the incident.
In a powerful display of community and remembrance, over a hundred motorcyclists, some traveling from neighboring states, participated in a memorial ride organized by a local motorcycle club. The procession rode to Yulfo's family home, where a burnout tribute was performed, celebrating his passion for motorcycling.
