Henderson's Light by Jack Torry

Author Jack Torry has written a book that you might want to read. "Henderson's Light" tells of a crash that happened in 1965 and how the crash still lingers in the minds of many (as many of you can relate to).

Last week, Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood blogged about Mr. Torry's book saying, "On a chilly January evening in Birmingham, Michigan, a Buick Skylark with five teenagers was struck head-on by a Ford Galaxy driven by a young man who had been drinking. Three of those teenagers and the driver of the Ford were killed. It was 1965.

The stunned responses of those who knew the three kids included everything you might expect in 2010. "They had their whole lives in front of them." "A bright future." "Such good kids."

Alcohol involved crashes that injure or kill someone are not ever forgotten. Check out this book at Amazon.com.

DUI Crackdown Activities Begin Across the Nation

Last week, the Secretary of the Department of Transportation Ray LaHood announced the beginning of this year's DUI enforcement activities. States across the nation are conducting increased enforcement patrols designed to catch drunk drivers leading up to Labor Day weekend, traditionally a time of increased drunk driving activity.

Arizona has already reported that it made 306 arrests after the first weekend of this year's Labor Day DUI Crackdown.
