One of the men charged in the racing accident that resulted in the death of a local teenager will see a judge in December. Wednesday afternoon, family and friends came together in memory of the victim.
Eighteen-year-old Brittany Engleman's life was cut short last October in a drag racing accident along Route 42 in Augusta County near Buffalo Gap High School.
Loved ones say they're patiently awaiting the outcome of each case for the three men involved. A tight-knit group gathered at the spot where the accident occurred to read poems, share memories, and show support.
Brittany's mother, Tammy Harris, says justice needs to be served in the name of her daughter.
"Whatever should happen, maybe somebody would think twice, or be more careful out on the road, use more caution, another family wouldn't have to go through this," says Harris.
Three men were charged in the incident. Robert Gaylor's jury trial is to begin August 18 and Cory Beasley's trial is set for August 26. Torrance Mack's jury trial date was set Tuesday for December 10.
