Hundreds Remember Independence Teen

INDEPENDENCE, Mo. – Hundreds of mourners filled an Independence church Monday night to remember a life cut short by a traffic accident.

Laura Beth Reynolds died on Halloween night when another car hit the car she was riding in head-on.

In the packed Eastside Baptist Church, family and friends remembered the 16 year old in good times.  They shared funny stories and many paid tribute to Reynolds by wearing yellow – her favorite color.

The driver of the wrong-way vehicle faces felony charges.  Kenneth Blake, of Blue Springs, Mo., is charged with involuntary manslaughter.
