Nash Forester of Garland was among the three southeast regional winners in the 2021 Put the Brakes on Fatalities Day poster contest. The Kansas Department of Transportation and other traffic safety organizations sponsor this contest.

 

The  photo shows Nash with his prizes – a bicycle from the Kansas Turnpike Authority and a helmet donated by Safe Kids Kansas. The photo credit goes to his father, Ryan Forester.

 

A total of 638 kids across Kansas ages 5 to 13 took the time to think about safety and participate in the contest. Put the Brakes on Fatalities Day is a nationwide effort to increase roadway safety and reduce all traffic fatalities.
