Yuma, Arizona woke up to heartbreak after the sudden death of Abraham Corral, a 34-year-old local man whose life was cut short in a devastating motorcycle crash. His passing has shaken family, friends, and neighbors who knew him as a warm presence and a familiar face in the community.
The fatal collision happened late Saturday night, January 24, 2026, just after 9:24 p.m., near the intersection of West County 14th Street and South Avenue B. Deputies with the Yuma County Sheriff’s Office rushed to the scene after receiving reports of a motorcycle and vehicle crash in the area.
Investigators say Abraham was riding a 2014 Harley-Davidson Softail Deluxe northbound on Avenue B. Ahead of him was a 2014 Honda CR-V. For reasons still under review, the motorcycle struck the rear of the SUV with force, throwing Abraham from his bike and onto the roadway.
Emergency crews from Rural Metro Fire arrived quickly. Both drivers were taken to Onvida Health for treatment. The driver of the Honda suffered only minor injuries. Abraham, however, was in critical condition. Despite intense efforts by first responders and hospital staff, he later died from his injuries.
Those who knew Abraham say his story cannot be reduced to the crash that took his life. He was deeply loved. He was someone people counted on. His absence now leaves a quiet, painful gap in the lives of many who shared time, laughter, and memories with him.
The Yuma County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate what led to the collision. Authorities have said speed may have played a role, though no final determination has been made. The case remains open as deputies work to piece together the final moments before impact.
As the investigation continues, officials are asking anyone who may have witnessed the crash or has relevant information to come forward. Even the smallest detail could help bring clarity and answers to a grieving family.
Abraham Corral is being remembered with respect, love, and sorrow. His life mattered. His name will be spoken with care. And in Yuma, his memory will ride on, long after the road went quiet.
