BLOOMINGTON, Minn., Dec. 8 /PRNewswire/ — Car crashes are the No. 1 killer of teens, taking nearly 6,000 lives a year, and the holiday season is a deadly time for teen drivers. But that hasn’t stopped a group of teens from spreading good cheer and some smart driving messages.

Through one of the first contests of its kind coined “Holiday Holla,” Danny Luebke and Carl Turner, both 18 from New Prague, Minn., won $15,000, courtesy of The Allstate Foundation, and were recognized for their creativity in being smart driving advocates.
