Drunk drivers cause auto accidents in Seattle and throughout Washington state. This is not a newsflash, but it is still always disturbing when we learn of a car accident that could have been prevented if someone made a simple choice to not drink and drive. This time, the car accident occurred in Yakima, Washington. A 44-year-old man’s attempt to pass another vehicle on Martin Luther King Boulevard is one such example. The man, who was driving a Ford Aerostar, was speeding southbound when he attempted to pass a Dodge Caravan, officials said. During his attempt to pass the van, the man collided head-on into an oncoming Ford Mustang which was being driven by a 23-year-old woman. A serious injury causing car accident was the result. Both individuals suffered serious personal injures and were taken to the hospital. After being treated, the suspect was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving and possible vehicular assault charges.

While many posts lately have been focusing on anti-texting and driving stories, let us not forget the serious problem of drunk driving. I cannot think of many things that are less responsiblethan getting behind the wheel of your car when you are intoxicated. Please never drink and drive.
