A Molino woman passed away Wednesday afternoon from injuries she received  in a two vehicle accident earlier in the day on Highway 29.

broxson.jpgThe Florida Highway Patrol says Karen R. Broxson, 23, of Molino  was involved  in the accident at Highway 29 and 9 1/2 Mile Road at 9:20 Wednesday morning. She was pronounced dead  at 4:49 Wednesday afternoon at Sacred Heart Hospital.

The accident happened when a Toyota Rav 4 driven by Katherine L. Hosack, 50, of Cantonment pulled from a stop on 9 1/2 Mile Road into the path of a southbound Chevrolet Blazer driven by Broxson, according to the FHP. Boxson’s Blazer was spun around several times by the force of the impact and overturned in the southbound lanes. The FHP says Broxson was ejected in the crash; she was not wearing a seat belt. Broxson was transported to Sacred Heart Hospital  by LifeFlight.

Hosack and her passenger, Khristopher Hosack, 7, were not injured in the crash.

The Florida Highway Patrol says that charges are pending in the accident.

The accident is still under investigation by the FHP.

    Kim,
    We just couldn’t believe that was your sweet daughter involved in the accident. We just heard today that it was her. We are so, so sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers and if you need ANYTHING, please do not hesitate calling us. We will be in Fran’s to check on you soon. Shannon only comes in there to pick on you-you are very special to us both!

  7. Donna on July 25th, 2009 10:20 pm

    Kim, I’m so sorry. We came in Fran’s tonight after fishing all day, expecting to find you waiting for us with our glasses of tea on the table. Then they told us what had happened. My heart aches for you.

    I know there’s nothing anyone can say or do right now to take away your pain, but just know that you are in my thoughts and in my prayers. I pray that God will ease your pain and give you grace to make it through this nightmare. And if it helps at all – your daughter is in a place that words can’t describe. When she left this world, she didn’t feel pain or fear or regret at having to go. She never looked back. She left here with an incredible feeling of peace and wonder and joy unspeakable.

    I know – because I was well on my way to that place when the folks at Sacred Heart yanked me back. I almost made it home, but it wasn’t my time. Karen made it, all the way.

  8. Kim Broxson on July 25th, 2009 5:59 pm

    I want eveyone to know that I APPRECIATE all the very sweet comments. I will miss My Baby very much, but I know that she is in a better place than we are now.

    Keep the prayers coming because I know that I will be needing them. Don’t worry I will be back at Fran’s to fill your tea glasses!

  9. Fran on July 25th, 2009 5:22 pm

    We thank everyone for their geneoristy. Karen’s funeral has been taken
    care of. We ask for prayer’s for the family.

    It is so hard to find the words to say. I can’t seem to go too long without crying. I haven’t seen Richey in probably 5 or 6 years. I can still remember her voice, her smile, and the happiness that she brought to those around her. I have yet to meet anyone who has the ability to light up a room the way she does. My son keeps telling me not to cry because “I will see her again in Heaven”. I know thats where she is and I know that I am blessed to not only have known her, but to call her family. My prayers go out to the rest of the family and to all of her friends.

  11. Anita on July 25th, 2009 9:22 am

    Kim,
    Dont know what to say .We will see you Monday. Jessica is coming also.
    Love Aunt Skeeter

    Karen gave me the greatest gift a daughter can give. She gave me her father. I watch Karen grow up into a wonderful, beatuful woman. She has called me Mom since middle school. Kim and I are the best of friends. Thank you for shareing your wonderful children with me. My heart and soul are broken. Because of our loss of Karen. No weddings to plan or the birth of her children. I love her like she was my own. I know Karen is watching over us. I will always love you and miss you until my last breath and then I will be with you. Thank you again Kim for sharing this wonderful young woman with me.

  16. Lottie Hart on July 24th, 2009 8:51 pm

    Kim and family,
    I do not think that there are any words I can type here that can console you and your family at this moment…but rest assure I believe you must know that if there is anything at all, that I or my family can do for you…please let me know. You are in our prayers and the kids have told me that as soon as they see you, they want to love on “their Ms. Kim”. We love you girl! I hope you let the good Lord carry you through this. We will be thinking of you! Hope to hug you soon!

  17. judy on July 24th, 2009 3:25 pm

    so many of us have children around the same age as karen…your heart just cant help break for the pain that the family is going thru now…fran (at the diner) says that they are collecting money to help out for the cost of the funeral expenses, which im sure will help greatly at this time…may God bless and comfort her family during this tragedy…judy, steve, mike

  18. Lynn on July 24th, 2009 12:54 pm

    Kim,
    I got the news and could not believe it. Altough, I did not know Karen, I do know you . Always hold her close in your heart & thoughts and know that she is in a place where she will never hurt again. My family will hold in your family in our prayers. If you need anything, please let me know.

  20. Oh My on July 24th, 2009 10:21 am

    As a Molino resident, I didn’t know this family. But I would like to extend my prayers and sympathy with this young woman’s family. I have a daughter 24, and I do not know what I would do if I lost her. I am so sorry for your loss. God will take great care of her now. Just remember, God may take our loved ones home, but in return he gives us sweet memories. Hold on to those memories.
    As far as the accident, I have said it a thousand times, people pulling out in front of others because they can’t wait a minute until all is clear.
    I know the other party must feel awful, but why do these drivers think they can pull out in front of someone and just think they will stop for them. Lets all learn from this and all of us stop being in such a dang big hurry!
    Thoughts and Prayers to this loving Family.

  21. Amber ferrell on July 24th, 2009 8:26 am

    Kim, i am so sorry for your loss. Karen was a good person and a great friend. I can’t believe that she has been taken from us. If there is anything i can do please let us know. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

    RIP Karen
    we love you girl

  22. Shirley & Robert Luker on July 24th, 2009 8:14 am

    Kim,
    We are sooo sorry. Please know that you are loved and in our prayers. May God give you strength and comfort during this time. Shirley

  23. interested reader on July 23rd, 2009 5:29 pm

    My prayers go out to the family. A young woman was taken away because of someone who was not paying attention to the traffic. We all need to be very vigilent on the road. AN ACCIDENT CAN HAPPEN IN AN INSTANT. May God be with the grieving ones left behind.

  24. Sara Modin on July 23rd, 2009 12:20 pm

  27. haveaHEART on July 23rd, 2009 10:15 am

    IN RE: “NUT HILL” “CHERYL” & OTHERS who just have to let the world know that you “SAW” the wreck happen and how “BAD” it was…….well I’m sure that it must have been “BAD” just knowing the results!! So I’m just wondering if mabe we can all just spare KIM (her Mom) the pain of knowing how “bad” it was and just consider her feelings when you have to go into detail on this page. There are many of you who feel that “need” to be known as: Witnessing what happened, or being behind her, and so on…….BUT remember that Kim DOES NOT need to have to read negative/gruesom things about her daughter.

    My Grandmother & I was there minutes after this happened. We seen the Lifeflight take off, and the little boy in the other car balling his eyes out. Both of these families are in my prayers. It is sad to see such a young person go so soon. Keep these families in your prayers.

  36. MK on July 22nd, 2009 10:22 pm

    We were directly behind Karen’s vehicle when this unfortunate crash occured. All those involved in the crash are in our prayers and I hope that all will receive the wakeup call that I did about the importance of wearing our seatbelts.

  37. Weed on July 22nd, 2009 10:09 pm

    it is always sad to hear of the loss of a young person, weather you know them or not. my thoughts and prayers will be with this family during this difficult time. I hope the friends, neighbors and community of this family will be there to support this family in their time of need. My condolences to the family.

  38. Kat on July 22nd, 2009 9:24 pm

    Kim, Tiff and Family….there are no words to ease your pain nor to console you.
    Don’t look to try understand why this happened or answers to questions that can’t be answered. All the emotions that will come and go are natural and part of the process. Lean on those who are here for you and remember the GOOD TIMES and the LOVE! Kim, I can’t EVEN begin to imagine how you must feel! God has her now and she is safe and pain free. You and yours will be in my thoughts and prayer! In the future when you see a Shining Star that will be Karin sending you a message!
