Arabella's Law Push for Road Safety | Wilmington News

A tragic crash in Columbus County claimed the lives of 11-year-old Arabella Powell and her mother, Amanda Green, after a driver ran a stop sign.

Their grief-driven mission aims to prevent future tragedies and honor their daughters’ memory through meaningful road safety reform.
