This is probably one of the sadest stories I have seen in awhile. An 18 year old girl who devoted her life trying to save and protect teens on the highways was killed from a head on crash last week. The driver that killed her was allegedly drunk. 
had devoted herself to doing something about the wave of teen crash fatalities in her North Carolina county. She studied teen highway deaths as her senior project at Clayton High School before graduating last spring. She changed her major at Wayne Community College from dental hygiene to criminal justice, says her aunt, Karmela Adkins.
Then on Saturday night she was killed in a head-on collision just a few blocks from her home, the victim of an alleged drunken driver.
Desiree Olsen, 29, who was thrown from her truck, was in good condition Tuesday in a Raleigh hospital. She was charged with felony death by motor vehicle, while the primary element of the charge is driving while intoxicated, says State Highway Patrol Sgt. T.L. Gibson.
