Francisco Rojo was in a terrible car accident alongside his cousin, Jesus Sepulvida, while on their way to work on December 19, 2026.
He has suffered severe brain injuries and hasn’t woken up since the accident.
Francisco Rojo was known for more than just his athletic skill.
He was a cherished teammate and friend whose true impact was measured in smiles and laughter. His teammates described him as a kindhearted person, and his genuine warmth made people feel welcome and valued.
Moreover, his funny and uplifting personality helped others to lift their spirits on a tough day or during a tense game.
Please keep Fran in your prayers. He is a family friend who played baseball with Esteban in AZ. He was on his way to work and was hit by a car that ran a red light. He is currently in critical condition. 🙏🏽

Community Rallies for Francisco Rojo After Tragic Accident
The Rojo family is facing every parent’s nightmare after a devastating car accident just days before Christmas.
On December 19, Francisco “Fran” Rojo, 22, was on his way to work with his cousin, Jesus, when a reckless driver ran a red light at high speed and struck their vehicle.
Jesus, affectionately known as Gordo, suffered multiple broken bones and is now home recovering.
However, Fran’s condition remains critical. He sustained severe brain and internal injuries and has not regained consciousness since the crash.
The Rojo family has maintained a constant vigil at the hospital, consumed by a continuous, terribly stressful, and emotional day.
Fran’s insurance had not yet taken effect at the time of the accident. His father and brother have put their work on hold due to the severity of his condition.
The road to recovery is cloudy, and we don’t know what to expect down the line or what support we will need for him or our family. It’s been so hard, and my heart hurts for him.
Julio RojoFran’s brother, Julio Rojo, has created a GoFundMe to help with mounting medical and living expenses. The family is asking the community for prayers and any form of support during this agonizing time.
The Rojo family, especially Fran, needs all the love and support the community can offer as they cling to hope for his recovery.
Speedy Recovery, Francisco Rojo.
