Mother of Homestretch victim steps up anti-road carnage campaign

Jul 28, 2011 News

– distributes hundreds of fliers to commuters

Two days after burying her son, Doris Anita Shelto, was back on the streets to make her voice heard against reckless drivers.
Ms. Shelto’s son, Peter Mc Clennon, was among the five people who perished last week Monday in the Homestretch Avenue crash. He was laid to rest on Sunday.
Ms. Shelto has been sticking to her promise to channel all her “anger and pain” to bring a halt to the road carnage.
On Tuesday, the road safety advocate distributed close to 1,000 fliers to commuters at minibus parks around the city.
Among other things, the fliers, printed by a city business entity, warned about the dangers of drunk driving, and of drivers chatting on cell phones while driving.
Two Wednesdays ago, she led a picketing exercise outside the Ministry of Home Affairs and at the Sophia minibus park.
The Sophia resident and other supporters have also been holding candlelight vigils at the scene of the crash.
She has vowed to protest three times a week until something is done by the authorities.
