Two women killed and several children hurt in Johnston County crash
SUMMARY: Two women in their 20s died in a car crash in Johnson County, with six children aged under 12 also in the vehicle; one child is in critical condition. The single-car accident occurred at the intersection of Government and Jack roads in Clayton. Investigators report that the driver, speeding about 30 mph over the limit and running a stop sign, lost control, hitting a ditch and a tree before the Jeep Cherokee went airborne. None of the occupants were wearing seat belts, and while alcohol isn’t suspected, the area has a history of crashes.

1.3 million people in NC act as caregivers for family members
SUMMARY: This month, National Caregivers Month honors those supporting individuals with special needs. Haley King, born with an extra chromosome, defied early grim predictions, thanks to the unwavering support of her parents and the Tammy Lynn Center in Raleigh. The center offers vital programs like residential care, therapeutic support, and day services but has a waiting list of 18,000 people. Experts emphasize the importance of caregivers finding additional resources, including family support groups. Tammy Lynn Center CEO Sarah Crawford urges the public to educate themselves about the needs of individuals with disabilities, while Haley, now 33, continues to thrive and spread joy.
During Caregivers Awareness, Julian Grace shares how their work helps the lives of several NC families, and that some caregivers say the job is taking a toll on their mental health.
