More Ledes: Fatals

PROBLEM: In one lede, we said the crash happened on Bell Avenue. In fact, the crash happened on Kirkmann Road, and the bride-to-be lived on Bell Avenue.

SOLUTION: Before writing, carefully go over the information to make sure you understand all the facts as they are. After writing, double-check against your notes every noun (person, place or thing), identifying labels (like addresses, titles and such), numbers, dates and the entirety of all quotes to make sure what you wrote was what you intended to write.
