## Resource

A tragic crash on U.S. 74 east of Whiteville claims the life of 30-year-old Deputy Damien Draper Bost, a dedicated school resource officer and father of two. The deputy’s patrol car was struck by an 18-wheeler that failed to slow, sending it off-road into the woods before the truck collided with a work vehicle and burst into flames. Driver David Samuel McPherson, 33, is arrested and charged with death by vehicle and reckless driving; a 24-year-old coworker was injured. This heartbreaking loss underscores the daily risks faced by law enforcement and road workers alike. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
