Trooper Michael Landers of the Ohio Highway Patrol wasn’t writing tickets on this day, but he left a lasting impression to the children and teens who took the wheel of a distracted driving simulator at a Mahoning Valley Healthy Kids Coalition Fitness & Safety Fair event at the Southern Park Mall in Boardman.
