A high school wrestler was killed over the weekend in a car crash and his family is telling Channel 2 Action News they forgive the driver.
John Goodall, known by his classmate as "Yates," only had his car for a few days before the crash. The teen was glad to get his license because his parents helped him get a car.
The other driver in the crash has been identified as Charles Brinson, 27.
Authorities say no drugs or alcohol were involved, but his view was obstructed.
