News » Appleton woman shares tragic story with teens
Mar. 2, 2010
An Appleton woman who lost her two best friends in an accident she caused is talking to high school freshman about the dangers of distracted driving.
Megan Wolf was behind the wheel when her car crossed the median of Highway 41, south of Neenah, in August of 2008. 15-year-old Hanna Twomey and 19-year-old James Markham were in the car with Wolf, and they died at the scene, when they collided with an on-coming van.
Wolf is one of the speakers at the "Party at the PAC" event, today and tomorrow. She says while she wasn't sending a text message while she was driving, she was distracted at the time of the accident. Wolf says it will be worth it if just one student takes her message to heart.
About 5,000 freshmen from 32 local high schools are participating in the "Party at the PAC." |
