GREENSBORO, N.C. -- A Greensboro mother has started a petition on Change.org to fight the Contributory Negligence Law in North Carolina.
Mignon Elkes' 23-year-old daughter pictured above was struck and killed by an SUV on May 18, 2018.
"She was walking with her back to traffic and around 11:30 at night was struck by an SUV GMC and taken to the hospital and pronounced dead two hours later," Elkes said. "It's just unimaginable that anything like this would happen to a mother to a child."
