Underage drinking and driving is not a rite of
passage. It is not something adults should expect or condone. When a teen
is injured or killed in a crash caused by underage drinking, the impact goes far
beyond the scene of the accident.Parents see cherished dreams of their
children's future turn to bittersweet memories. Friends who reveled in the
illusion of immortality are forced to face the reality of death. Strangers
draw together in shock, disbelief and grief.
Statistics give us numbers of underage drinking
reports, car accidents, deaths and injuries. People give us a glimpse into
the heartbreak beyond the numbers.
Some families of teens killed in underage drinking and driving
crashes have offered to share their stories - hoping that someone will be spared
the same anguish. Visit their pages and find out how their families are
coping.
