I never thought that i would be a family member of a victim of drinking and driving. You all prolly know my sister Katie and she was involved in a accident on Friday morning on fruit ridge at about 3am I wish that i was there to help her. Her and her boyfriend and her friend left there house and went to visit my other sister Joann at McDonald's and grab some food. The driver (who was her boyfriend) was drinking and got behind the wheel. When technically the truck he was driving was loaned to my sister. I am not sure why she wasn't driving but it was obviously a stupid mistake we all make them! Anyway! She leaned down to grab something that fell off of the seat (that's when she took her seat belt off) and she said the next thing that she new she hit the first tree. and then comes the big tree that stopped them! she ended up being wedged under neath the dash board and she hit her head on the steering wheel! They had to cut the truck up to get my sister out because she was wedged underneath the dash and the steering wheel. She came out of the accident with a broken femur bone and they had to go in and put a rod in her leg... She also had broken spinal disk and liver and kidney lacerations she has a ton of stitches and she is very badly bruised her right eye is swollen shut and they are hoping there isn't going to be any long term vison problems. She was very awake and alert today and looks to be doing better than yesterday! Her boyfriend was ok he broke some bones in his leg and his hand but he was up and around yesterday! The other girl found out that she was 14wks prego and she came out of it with a broken figure.. No word on if the baby was harmed or just shook up. I really hope she learned her lesson about drinking and driving even if its how not to get in a vehicle with some one that has had even 1 or 2 drinks cause it could mean her life! I hope everyone that knows prays for her and knows that she is going to be "ok" considering the extent of the injury's.. Thank you so much for all the people who has called me and told me how sorry that they are and that they put her on many prayer list it really means allot to me.
