In Loving Memory of Eric Tomko (1976 – 2023)

Tragedy struck on September 16, 2023, as we lost a beloved member of our community. Eric Tomko, aged 47 and hailing from Bensalem, Pennsylvania, met with a fatal accident on Route 72 in Burlington County, New Jersey.

Eric was riding his motorcycle eastbound on Route 72 when a westbound Chevrolet Silverado initiated a left-hand turn onto County Route 532. This turn led to a collision with Eric’s motorcycle at approximately 8:50 p.m. in Woodland Township. The impact resulted in Eric being ejected from his bike, which, tragically, entered the path of a Ford Escape that was traveling behind the Chevy. The motorcycle and Eric both collided with the front passenger side of the Ford.

Despite the valiant efforts of first responders, Eric Tomko was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident. The loss of a life so suddenly is a deeply sorrowful event that has left a void in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
