Another lives wasted because of drunk driving. It's a sad reality that we should be facing and put an end to. Parents should be aware of their teen's activities and their whereabouts especially if they're driving the family car. Constant reminding of using the seatbelt might save their lives as well. I hope this serves a lesson to other teens who does not take reckless drunk driving too seriously.
My heart goes out to Pettengill's and Torrey's families.
