O.T. - Drunk Drivers...., Unbelievable sad... Options

[SpecialK]

I hate to post sad news, but this one I can't get out of my head.

Pacific is a very small town, so when something bad happens it's usually to someone you know.

A good friend of ours daughter (18), her boyfriend (19), and his roomate (20) were killed by a drunk driver that crossed the center line of a two-lane hwy just outside of town last night. My son and daughter are absolutely devastated, they've been friends with all three since they were in kindergarten.

Drinking and Driving.......just don't do it PLEASE!

The car in the pic was a Volvo...hard to tell.

Did the person who had the accident and killed your kids friend previously have a DUI ?

The driver of the other vehicle (Dakota) is in critical condition, not sure of anything other than that. Two local news stations had conflicting reports on which vehicle crossed into oncoming traffic....either way it can't be undone.

I'm no Saint, and have been too drunk to drive on more than one occassion, but did anyway and was VERY lucky not to have killed myself, or someone else....never again, it's just not worth risking peoples lives.


I thought about not posting this thread at all, hated to post something that would undoubtedly bring everyone down. I decided to only because if it made one person on the forum think twice about driving when they'd had too many, then it was the right thing to do.
