A Denver area cab driver was killed early Monday morning when a vehicle ran a red light at a high speed and struck the cab, which was transporting a 62-year-old passenger.
Junior Soko, 29, was killed as a result of the crash, and was pronounced dead at the scene. It appears the cab was traveling South on Colorado Blvd. when the suspect car apparently ran a red light and collided with the yellow cab.
Soko's passenger was taken to a local hospital and was reportedly in critical condition.
Two men and a woman who were in the suspect vehicle were also taken to the hospital. Denver Police have not been able to interview the three individuals due to their hospitalized state. Police have indicated that they are still investigating which person was driving the suspect vehicle. All three people in the suspect car were not wearing their seat belt.
Police have also expressed the likelihood that alcohol was involved in the crash.
Yellow Cab manager Randy Jenson has set up a fund for the Soko family at Wells Fargo. All proceeds from the fund will go directly to the family. Soko left behind two young girls, aged 13 and 11. Donations can be made at any Wells Fargo location.
"He was a great cabby," Jenson added. "He felt really good about the business he was in. It's truly unfortunate."
