It’s always a good idea to have a designated driver if you decide to go out for a night on the town. Unfortunately, even the most responsible people are always at risk on the road due to other drivers wrongdoings.
A NY post article tells the tragic story that occurred on April 23rd, 2017 when a 22 year old Long Island woman perished in a tragic accident in the early morning hours. The victim was out the previous night with family celebrating her younger sister turning 21, the legal drinking age. The victim graciously offered to abstain from drinking for the night and instead to drive her sister and friends around. At the end of the night, during the victim’s drive back to Long Island her car was struck from behind by an off duty police officer. Later tests revealed that the police officer was drunk at the time of the accident. While he suffered only minor injuries, the 22 year old designated driver died from injuries sustained during the crash.
