Braydon Hendrickson killed, Rylan injured in El Paso crash CO

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO, (May 22, 2026) – Braydon Hendrickson, 16, was killed and his twin brother, Rylan Hendrickson, was injured Thursday afternoon in a two-vehicle crash in Colorado Springs.

According to the Colorado Springs Police Department, the collision occurred at approximately 2:30 p.m. on North Academy Boulevard near Lehman. Investigators said Braydon was driving southbound with Rylan in the passenger seat when a northbound female driver attempted to make a left turn onto Lehman and was struck by Braydon’s vehicle.

Braydon, Rylan, and another juvenile in their vehicle were transported to a hospital with serious injuries. Braydon later succumbed to his injuries. Rylan remains hospitalized.

The female driver also sustained serious injuries and was taken to a hospital for treatment.

A GoFundMe page has been established to assist the Hendrickson family with medical expenses, funeral costs, and other financial burdens following the crash.

The Colorado Springs Police Department’s Major Crash Team continues to investigate the incident.


TWO-VEHICLE CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED

The Colorado Springs Police Department’s Major Crash Team is actively investigating the fatal collision. As part of the probe, officials are working to determine the exact circumstances that led to the crash that claimed Braydon’s life and seriously injured Rylan.

Each year, approximately 36,000 people are killed and another 1.9 million are injured in motor vehicle crashes across the United States.

While authorities continue to examine fault and contributing factors, Candice Bond, an experienced accident attorney, emphasized the importance of conducting an independent investigation promptly to preserve evidence and protect victims’ rights.

“In addition to the work carried out by law enforcement, an attorney can revisit witness statements, review surveillance footage from the crash scene, and obtain phone and text records from the responsible party,” said Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal.

“Acting quickly is crucial in cases like this, as families must ensure that evidence is properly secured and evaluated,” Bond added.

“In some cases, accident reconstruction experts are needed to determine how the crash occurred. These efforts are essential in helping victims or their families pursue financial compensation for their losses,” said Bond, a national legal analyst for Accident Injury News.


WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the outcome of the investigation, the family of Braydon Hendrickson, as well as Rylan Hendrickson, may have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim. Families affected by fatal crashes can seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.

“We recognize that losing a loved one is both an emotional and financial hardship,” said Stefano Formica, of counsel with Bond Legal. “If a loved one has been lost due to another party’s negligence, it is important to seek guidance from a wrongful death attorney to pursue justice.”

“Families coping with such tragedies are often overwhelmed by the legal process. An experienced attorney can provide compassionate support while ensuring that their rights are protected and that they receive the compensation they deserve,” Formica added.
