Approximately 1,000 traffic crash-related fatalities occurred annually on Michigan streets, roads and highways over the past five years. Nearly one-third were alcohol-related. Most unfortunate, however, is the fact that the victims of alcohol-involved crashes are frequently innocent citizens.
Detroit resident Cheryle Morgan-Houston knows this fact all too well. Her son was killed by a drunk driver while trying to assist an injured motorist near the intersection of Van Dyke and Davison.
