Kiera's Legacy Drives Safety Change | Albany News

A mother’s heartbreak turns into a rallying cry after losing her 16-year-old daughter, Kiera, in a deadly crash caused by an 18-year-old driver high on cannabis and speeding over 90 mph. Kiera’s younger brother survived with serious injuries. The mother, now pushing for systemic change, delivered a raw, unforgettable plea in court — hoping the driver relives that night every night. She’s launching “Wings of Love,” a community walk in Troy on August 15, to honor Kiera and warn others: impaired driving — whether by weed or booze — kills. Officials are sounding the alarm as more teens turn to cannabis edibles before behind the wheel, a dangerous trend reshaping road safety. This is grief turned into a movement — one step, one voice, one life at a time. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
