Thrusday night a large group of teens had a party. A few of them were of age to buy the alcohol. After drinking all night, about 4 am two 19 year olds left along with a 22 year old with 4 passengers. The 19 year olds were on a motorcycle and the others were in a SUV. As kids do, they were playing games while driving under the influence.
The motorcycle came to a stop and the SUV did not stop. The SUV crashed into the rear of the motorcycle. The driver of the motorcycle was badly injured. His passenger was laying in the road unconcious. So what does the teens do that was in the SUV? THEY PICKED UP THEIR BADLY INJURED FRIEND THAT WAS IN THE ROAD AND PUT HIM IN THE DITCH ! Then they left the scene of the accident leaving the operator of the motorcycle at the scene and his buddy in the ditch. The 22 year old driving the SUV left the scene and went home.
The police came along with an ambulance. The medics had to get the injured guy out of the ditch. They took him to the local hospital and called Lifeflight to take him to Cleveland. After the helicopter took off, they circled and returned as the 19 year old had expired. All his internal organs had been destroyed. The operator of the motorcycle is in serious but stable condition. The police found the driver of the SUV at his parents house. He is now incarcerated at the Sheriffs Department pending involentary manslaughter charges with no bail set. He says he can't remember who his passengers were, but he remembers how much he drank, and hitting a motorcycle.
There is more to this story to come I'm sure. The scuttlebutt in the township is that one of the teens parents allowed them to drink at the party. I sure hate to be them if this is true. This really upset my wife as she works in the ER. She knows the parents of the dead teen. Apparently they did not know their son was going to be at a party that allowed drinking.
Second scary situation. My wife comes home from work today. This morning she had to do a quick move to get out of the way of a driver that was coming at her in her lane. As she swerved out of the way, it got the attention of a police car sitting in front of a coffee shop. There was also another police car that saw what happened. My wife said it shook her up, but she drove onto work. The one officer knew her and followed her to the hospital to make sure she was ok. She told him that she was shaken but ok, and he then told her that they got the guy that almost hit her head on. Yep,,,,,,,,,,,HE WAS DRUNK!
In 5 more days, I will be sober for a year. What I'm realizing, Was Drinking That Important" My answer is "NO", its not worth hurting or killing someone. I'm just thankful that it never happened to me when I did drink and drive. Stuff like that, that has happened to people is enough to keep this guy sober.........Sorry for being long winded, just thought I would pass this on........SS
