Demonstration taking place today calling for safer crosswalks throughout the valley

Parents and students are demanding changes to improve road safety near Arbor View High School after a tragic incident claimed the life of 18-year-old McKenzie Scott.

Scott was hit and killed by a suspected drunk driver on Friday while walking in a crosswalk outside the school.

Justin Hinton is reporting live this morning from that crosswalk with more on the demonstration taking place later this morning and the changes the community is calling for.

Today is the deadline to have your Real ID

The requirement takes effect today, 20 years after Congress passed the Real ID Act to streamline state-issued IDs.

You can still use your old ID to fly, but you'll be diverted to a different line to face extra security.
