If you faced traffic problems Wednesday afternoon in the Hunting Park area of Philadelphia, it was due to an impressive vigil in honor of a Puerto Rican who died in an accident.
Relatives, friends and acquaintances of Jason Arroyo, 41, remembered him in a big way with what the Puerto Rican liked the most: fever.
This term responds to clandestine races at full speed, as well as others allowed between groups of competitors or lovers of motor vehicles.
Arroyo, better known as Jay, died on August 7 when he collided with a truck while making a left turn between Hunting Park Avenue and 6th Street. He was driving a motorcycle, which, according to relatives, he had bought that same day as a surprise gift to his son.
The deceased competed in car races in other states with his Mazda RX7, which he named “El humildón”.
He is survived by four children, a wife, and dozens of family and friends who will miss his calls and sense of humor.
The Police reported that the driver of the truck against which the deceased was hit remained at the scene, but the incident remains under investigation.
