When I was in high school (a gazillion years ago), I was president of students against drunk driving – it was personal for me as my dad was hit by a drunk driver but thankfully survived without any long-term damage. WHY are people still drinking and driving. This is horrific and this makes me so incredibly sad. So many lives lost. Please, we have so many options now. Call for uber or a friend but don’t drink and drive. Off my soapbox.
Kathy,
Please stay on the soapbox.
Too important not to.
Thank you.
Was he in the crosswalk or jaywalking?
