Moms put a face on the dangers of teen driving

Driving It Home is heart-wrenching program that makes teens sit up and listen. Parents who have lost cherished children in car accidents lecture them on safety as technological distractions have made the task of driving all the more perilous. HeraldNet reports.

“They say it gets easier as time goes by. It’s a lie,” said Sue Crolley, Josh’s mother. “The first year you’re in total shock. The second year slams you in the face — it did happen. I’ll never have grandchildren, never see him get married, or have his first date. He never got to graduate.

“Those are the things you can never get back,” the Arlington woman said Friday.

Crolley is one of the scheduled speakers at a Driving It Home collision awareness seminar starting at 9 a.m. Saturday in the Stanwood High School auditorium.
