On Saturday, August 23, 2025, at approximately 5:07 p.m., Shreveport Police officers responded to a major accident at the intersection of Tate Street and Broadway Avenue involving a motorcycle and a vehicle.

Preliminary findings revealed that a black Toyota Camry was traveling southbound on Broadway Avenue when it entered the intersection of Tate Street and collided with a blue Suzuki motorcycle that was traveling westbound on Tate Street toward Illinois Street.
