Please, please…Don’t drink and drive

This is another case of drinking and driving causing the death of another human being.  What makes this more intense for me is that I know the family of the 17 yr-old who was drinking and caused the death of another person.  The woman killed was a 38 yr-old mother of two teen-agers.

It make me sick to the core. I have a 17 yr-old daughter who was friends with this 17 yr-old.  I have instilled in my daughter just how fast entire lives can be completely ruined. The lives of the drunk-driving 17 yr-old, her family and the family of the victim are all changed forever.

The young girl will face up to 20 years in prison, her family will face scrutiny and in a case like this, nobody wins. I would like to send my deepest condolences to the family of the mother who was killed.  A waste of life…..in more ways than one.

Milford woman dies in head-on collision early Saturday morning

By DUSTIN BLITCHOK Of The Oakland Press

A 38-year-old Milford woman was pronounced dead on the scene after a head-on collision early Saturday morning on Milford Road.

At about 5:39 a.m. Saturday, Milford police and firefighters responded to a 911 call for a two-vehicle accident on Milford Road south of General Motors Road.

The driver of the other car, a 17-year-old White Lake Township woman, was taken to Botsford Hospital with “non-life threatening orthopedic injuries,” according to a statement by Milford Police Chief Thomas Lindberg.

Milford Road was closed for several hours after the fatal accident.

“There was dense fog throughout the region at the time of the crash and alcohol is suspected to have been a factor,” Lindberg said.

The cause of the accident is under investigation by the Milford Police Department and the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office accident investigation team. An autopsy will be performed on the 38-year-old woman who died in the crash.
