Tuesday October 2, 2012 8:15 AM

RUTLAND, Vt. (AP) — Residents in Rutland, Vt., say they are still struggling with their anger and grief following a multi-vehicle crash that killed a 17-year-old high school student.

The meeting Monday night at Northwest Elementary School was called as a support for those dealing with the trauma of the crash seen by hundreds of residents, rescue workers and others last week outside the Rutland Discount Food and Liquidation Center on Cleveland Avenue.

Police said it was caused by an incapacitated driver believed to have been huffing from aerosol cans. Killed was Carly Ferro.

The Rutland Herald reports (http://bit.ly/QUz4eL) one woman said her 7-year-old daughter refused to go to the store now. A small group of employees from the store received a sympathetic round of applause when they spoke.
