Kentucky Crash Victim Speaks Out a Year After Deadly Drunk Driving Accident

Car accidents happen every day in the United States, and far too many are caused by drunk drivers. Although the majority of people in the U.S. have either been in a serious car accident or know someone who has been hurt in a crash, understanding the true human cost of collisions is impossible without experiencing it yourself.  One woman, however, is speaking out about the lasting struggles that her family faces years after a devastating car accident took her husband’s life. 

When a person dies in a car accident, he or she leaves behind grieving family members who will cope with the loss for the rest of their lives.

 can help family members to take legal action in a wrongful death lawsuit so the death does not cause financial problems for families, but no amount of money can ever make up for the harm caused by a fatal car accident. This is especially true when the person who caused the accident was intoxicated at the time, since the dangers of drunk driving are so well known and since drunk driving is illegal in order to prevent crashes from happening.

The widow wants to see justice done for her husband and his friends, and is speaking out on the eve of the trial to explain what the accident has meant for her family. She describes the experience of being forced to tell her children that their father was gone and that they could not see him (the coroner had said it would be a bad idea for anyone in the family to see the man, who had to be identified by his teeth after the crash). The children are in grief counseling still and the widow has indicated that she wants to ensure that neither her husband nor their friend’s in the vehicle are forgotten since she and her kids miss them dearly every day.

Stories like this tragic one serve as a real-world illustration of the very real costs of driving drunk and driving reckless. These are behaviors that no one should be doing, knowing the tremendous risks
