NC crossing guard gift

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — A North Carolina crossing guard had some bad luck.  Wallace Peoples' car broke down so he had to walk to work. And to make things worse, he spent Christmas in the hospital.

So students, parents and teachers showed him some love with a big surprise.

He thought they had found him an old car to buy, but instead, they gave him one.

“within a span of two hours we had $800 raised and a car donated by another parent," Sloane Johnson, a parent at the school, told NBC station WXII.

They didn't just stop at the car they also gave him a check for $2,500.
