## Resource

Hundreds gathered Sunday to mourn Danaya Blair and Jordan Wells, two bright, promising teens killed in a fatal car crash — and their friend Joshua Marchbanks remains hospitalized. These weren’t troublemakers; they were future nurses, college-bound students, and siblings’ guardians, just enjoying a summer night. The crash, involving a Chevrolet Tahoe and Ford Focus, sent all four occupants off a cliff — none wearing seatbelts. Families demand answers, frustrated by what they see as a botched investigation. With 41 and 42 traffic deaths this year already, this tragedy underscores how fast life can vanish — and how critical road safety is.
