NC tragedy leads to safe-driving fair this Saturday

It’s always tragic when people die from automotive accidents, especially when they’ve barely started their lives. Last month, four teen from Wakefield High School in Raleigh, North Carolina, were killed when the driver’s Mazda RX-8 slammed into a concrete barrier. In response, the high school, the Wakefield Forest police department, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) have gathered together to put on a safe-driving fair this weekend. Leith Chevrolet dealership owner Chris Leith has also joined the fair.
