Community Gathers for Vigil Honoring Fallen Tow Truck Operator Johnny Sofranko

 

 

The community came together tonight to honor Johnny Sofranko, a local tow truck operator who tragically lost his life in a hit-and-run accident. The vigil was held at Del Taco on Varner Road at 8:30 PM, followed by a procession of tow truck drivers heading west to Cook at 9:00 PM.

 

Franco was struck near the 10 freeway while assisting a stranded driver about a week ago and later succumbed to his injuries. The police are actively searching for the driver responsible for this heartbreaking incident.
