Christian Miller, age 9 of Gorham, was recently named as one of three northwest Kansas winners in the 2016 Put the Brakes on Fatalities poster contest.

Miller was selected as the winner of the 8 to 10-year-old age division and was awarded a bicycle and helmet from Safe Kids Kansas during a presentation held on Nov. 14 at the Gorham City Park.

A total of 824 kids across Kansas ages 5 to 13 took the time to think about safety and participated in the contest. Put the Brakes on Fatalities Day is a nationwide effort to increase roadway safety and reduce all traffic fatalities and is recognized annually on Oct. 10.
