Car accidents are the number one cause of accidents in kids our age. Some of us have lost friends or family members due to drunk drivers. Whats your story? Do you know someone who died or survived a severe car accident?

Last December, four days after Christmas my cousins girlfriend Valerie was killed by a drunk driver. Here's the link to her website and to the story.

In seventh grade, a girl I knew for three years was killed in a car accident. The car was overfilled with people. Because of this, the passengers in the back seat, including her, were not wearing a seat belt. She and her sister's boyfriend died in the accident.

A neighbor of mine also killed himself after driving drunk. His girlfriend had broken up with him and really depressed. Speeding while exiting of the freeway, he crashed after losing control at a sharp turn.

I've also heard stories in my town about someone who died when he was going home from prom because he was in a car with a drunk driver.
