David "Earl" Widmann, 25, was riding a motorcycle on the 7500 block of Bristol Pike in Bristol Township when it crashed into an SUV around 7 p.m., the Bucks County Courier Times reports.

He had been an "integral" member of the Edgely Fire Company since 2017, the department said in a Wednesday, June 15 Facebook post.
