Drunk Behind the Wheel

There is a war on our highways, our avenues and our streets. The casualties are you and I, indiscriminate of age, gender and race. The battle has netted more than 427,993 casualties since 1982, exceeding the U.S. casualties of World War II by more than 20,000. Last year alone there were 17,400 fatalities and nearly 500,000 left injured. They were attributed to one thing- alcohol. Intoxicated drivers climbing into their cars and forgetting the lives carried in each vehicle they passed. Chances are the great percentage of those who did made it home and passed out. These are the stories where that is not the case. These are the stories behind the white crosses.
