A Drunk Driver claims another innocent life
At approximately 4:30 this afternoon a drunk driver crossed the center-line of county road WW near Mexico, MO and hit my niece Brandy Kay Phillips head on at over 60 miles an hour. The accident was witnessed by three teenage girls in the car behind my niece who called it in on a cell phone. Brandy was airlifted to a trauma center in Columbia, MO where she died after everything that the doctors could do for her. She was driving an old Ford Festiva and her internal injuries were so massive that they could not stop the bleeding.
Brandy was engaged to be married in June of this year. She was on her way to her fiances house when the accident occured. The driver of the car that hit her was operating a car with no driver's license, no insurance and illegal plates on the car. How and why was this a&&hole behide the wheel of a car?

You have my deepest sympathy.
This kind of thing happens because prisons are full so the court system picks and chooses who they will stuff into a cell. DUI is considered a non-violent offense until someone gets killed. I have worked for over 20 years to help reduce DUI incidents in Idaho. It has been a challenge and at times extremely maddening. It takes more of us to get involved and demand tougher sentencing and penalties. I am so very sad to hear this. May God be with you and your family.

I am so sorry to hear about this tragedy. I have no words to ease your pain.
I truly wish our country would get serious about drunk drivers. It's nothing less than murder in my opinion. When a drunk takes someone's life I believe that they should get a minimum sentence of 30 years with no parole.
