Accident Report
May 1, 2026, Sophie Larkin was injured following a car accident that happened at around 5:56 p.m. along Broadway/Loop 368.
Investigators said that the accident happened in the area of the Broadway and Patterson Avenue intersection.

Authorities say that the Rav4 ran the light, and the vehicles collided.
Due to the accident, Sophie Larkin sustained serious injuries. No other injuries were reported. At this time, additional details are unavailable.
How Did This Accident Occur?
Authorities believe someone ran the light here, so that makes things seem pretty open-and-shut. But there can be a wide range of reasons why someone might run a light, and they aren’t always so simple.
For example, there would be a big difference between a driver running a light while looking at their phone and running a light because they were extremely intoxicated after being unlawfully over-served by a local sports bar. One might not go beyond the crash scene. The other could be a length legal process to hold both a reckless driver and a law-breaking alcohol provider accountable for contributing to a serious accident.
That’s why it’s important that victims and families at least know that investigators are being as thorough as possible. A serious crash requires a serious resolution, and that begins with getting all the facts.
