STAFFORD — A group of Stafford County high school students is pushing for change after their friend and fellow classmate Helen Wang died in a car crash on the day of her 17th birthday. She was hit and killed while trying to turn onto Kellogg Mill Road, a narrow two-lane road that winds through the heart of the county. 

They call themselves Changing Stafford’s Roads [CSR]. They’re credited with convincing local leaders to take action, putting forward to voters a possible $50 million road bond referendum to improve conditions on some of the county’s worst thoroughfares.
