Words cannot adequately describe the anger and frustration of learning a loved one has been injured as a result of someone driving while intoxicated. Thanks to groups like MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving), the dangers of drinking and driving are well known. Despite the tireless efforts of groups like MADD, too many people are hurt and killed in drunk driving accidents every year.
According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration, 10% of all injury causing accidents in 2005 (173,000) were alcohol related. Unfortunately, 39% of all fatal car accidents involved alcohol. In 2005 alone, 15,238 people lost their lives in an alcohol related car accident. This statistic was particularly alarming of all fatal accidents that occur between midnight and 3:00 am, 75% were alcohol related!
