Families of Stony Creek crash victims plan 5K park walk - The Detroit News
Shelby Township — Family of two teens who survived a high-speed crash that took the lives of three friends last month will hold a 5K Walk fundraiser at Stony Creek Metropark’s Oakgrove Park on Sunday. Joseph Narra and Gregory Bobchick, both 17-year-old juniors from Shelby Township, survived the crash that took the lives of their friends Jonathan Manolios, Emanuel Malaj and Michael Wells, all 17-year-old juniors from Sterling Heights. Police said the three were killed when the driver of a speeding 2008 Jaguar S-type they were in lost control on a park road, hit a guardrail, tore through a fence and landed in the Stony Creek River. “This is a way to put out positive energy,” said 20-year-old Lauren Haboosh, Narra’s cousin. Haboosh said they hope the walk will draw at least 300 participants and raise $5,000. Some of the proceeds will be donated to the Firefighter Association of Washington Township, Haboosh said, in honor of the firefighter who saved Narra’s life. Haboosh of Shelby Township said the families of the five teens want to raise awareness of safe driving and the importance of wearing a seat belt. Only one of the boys was wearing a seat belt. Family members said the car was owned by the father of one of the boys. “He is pretty beaten up,” Haboosh said of Narra. Source: www.detroitnews.com
