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.

Highway Deaths Down to 1961 Levels Highlighting Importance of Advanced Technology to Eliminate Drunk Driving
Yesterday, the National Highway Traffic Administration released a preliminary report of 2008 motor vehicle deaths. The report shows that 37,313 people died in motor vehicle traffic crashes last year - a 9.1 percent drop from the year before, when 41,059 died and the fewest since 1961, when there were 36,285 deaths.
The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers issued a press release stating that the lower numbers underscore why automakers and policymakers need to continue pushing for "sound data and engineering innovation to advance sustainable, safe mobility."
In its Campaign to Eliminate Drunk Driving, MADD likewise supports the creation of advanced, in-vehicle technology in order to make drunk driving literally impossible one day.
