WSB Radio and Harley-Davidson of Atlanta are honoring the legacy of former WSB personality Capt. Herb Emory with a toy drive and motorcycle and Jeep ride this weekend.
The annual benefit is held to remember Emory, a traffic reporter who died from a heart attack. The beloved broadcaster suffered the heart attack on April 12, 2014, after helping crash victims in an accident that occurred near his home and directing traffic around the wreck.
