KENNETT, Mo. (AP) -- Southeast Missouri native Sheryl Crow is lending her name to an effort to reduce death and injuries to teen drivers.
The Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter and musician from Kennett, Mo., is featured in a public service announcement encouraging teens to use seatbelts and arrive at their destinations safely.
In the PSA, Crow talks about some of her best memories as a teenager, including basketball games, prom and hanging out with friends.
Crow advises teens, "Don't let your fun be cut short. Safety belts save lives. Make them a habit."
The radio spot has been sent to stations across Missouri and is on YouTube.
