Tragedy and Drunk Driving

 On December 12^th 2008 my sister and her husband were taking a trip in New Mexico.

 

They stopped to read a map and were o n the shoulder of the road with their hazard lights on. That was the last time they were together! A drunk driver who was being pursued by the police, passed the lane of cars on the right hand side at 90 miles an hour. My sister’s husband was killed instantly and miraculously my sister lived. Although she was injured, her physical injuries are healing. Her emotional scars will last a lifetime. There are children who are now without a father, and many family members and friends who are grief-stricken.

The other driver escaped with minor injuries and is facing a prison term for vehicular homicide. How do you come to terms with such a great loss? What can be done to stop this type of tragedy? Certainly selling liquor right on the highway is a first step!
