It’s amazing how the DUI driver never get hurt be careful tragedies happen so fast
@rance – he lived because he wore his seatbelt. Despite his other poor choices causcing the accident and playing a role in his passenger’s deaths, had they worn their seatbelts they would have stood a better chance of surviving such an accident.
WOW! I can bet he wishes he had told his passengers to buckle up……..and drinking and driving with drugs, just a death sentence ……..suicide mission,…………could have all been prevented………..
It’s amazing how the drunks behind the wheel can cause so much devastation, pain and suffering, and come out of it without a scratch. Now the taxpayers get to suffer the burden of housing and feeding the drunk behind bars. 2 lives taken and he’ll be 60 if he serves the max – then back on the street…no justice
