Hundreds of motorcyclists rode from Nephi to American Fork this weekend to honor a man killed by a suspected drunk driver.
The motorcycle ride took a large group through Utah County and ended where Hughes was hit on West State Street in American Fork.
Riders stopped at Utah Department of Transportation sheds along the way. Hughes was a diesel mechanic for the department. He worked in Spanish Fork, primarily. "He and I worked together closely to keep all these snowplows up and running and on the road," said Joel Bascom, Hughes' former coworker and father figure.
"Jason grew up in my home as a kid, as an unofficial stepson," he explained. "When he got old enough, I encouraged him to come to UDOT and start working here, which he did. His progression here was really quick. He learned at a phenomenal pace.""All these beautiful people showing so much support for my son, it's beautiful," said Heather Pulsipher, Hughes' mother.
Around 200 bikers outfitted in orange, a UDOT color and Hughes' favorite, joined the route to pay their respects.Hughes worked as a diesel mechanic for UDOT. Riders are stopping by sheds to pay their respects to him. His family, including his 5 children, are following along.
