The tight-knit community of Piedmont is in mourning after three young people died in a fiery solo-vehicle crash early Wednesday morning, one day before a city tradition that took place on Thanksgiving morning - the Piedmont Turkey Trot.

It’s a somber Thanksgiving in Piedmont as the community mourns three young residents who lost their lives Wednesday in a Tesla Cybertruck crash. On Thursday, at the annual Piedmont Turkey Trot, residents are gathering to honor their lives.

"The community really loved them. They brought a lot of energy and a lot of spirit to the community and I feel like it's only fitting that people show their respect." The Thanksgiving Turkey Trot in Piedmont was rerouted so people could pay their respects to the three young adults who were killed in a crash.
