I know it is very hard to believe but she has no prior DUI. I want to know why this story has not been talked about more?? I think it is very important to our children today to hear about what happens when you drink and drive. Maybe this story could help prevent just one from getting behind the wheel of a car drunk. Something has to open there eyes right?? to let everyone know the young women is still in the hospital, with a very serious head injury! I will continue to pray for her and her family, after all we all make mistakes!!!

I just want to say with people out there drinking and driving on the same street's that I am on with my kids in the car, HOW dare you!! Thankfully no one else was hurt or killed (this time).I know the women that was involved in this incident, she is not a bad person, but yet she made the choice to get behind the wheel drunk.. While I am sitting here tonight knowing that she is in the hospital fighting for her life, I also know that something has to be done!! If you are truly a friend to someone and you know that they had to much to drink please, don't let them get behind the wheel and drive. It has been proven over,and over again DRINKING AND DRIVING KILLS!!! I know that she was not alone when she was drinking, maybe if just one of the people that was with her would have stepped in and took her keys this would have never happened!!
