Drunk Nashville Teen Driver Wrecks And Kills Cousin
Booze It And Lose It
An underage drinking driver, high speed, and early morning hours make for a deadly cocktail that cost the life of an Antioch man and will bring criminal charges against his cousin, the driver of the vehicle. According to an article posted on the website of Nashville NewsChannel5 Miguel Crispin-Reyes, 19, was driving at a high rate of speed with his cousin Ancelmo Crispin-Herrera,21, riding in the front seat with him when he, for some unknown reason, left the road and rolled. Mr. Crispin-Herrera was trapped in the vehicle and was pronounced dead at the scene. Mr. Crispin-Reyes is listed in stable condition at Vanderbilt Medical Center.
Such a tragedy, how sad that one poor decision has changed the lives of two young men and their family forever. My sympathy and prayers go out to them.
As an experienced Nashville car accident lawyer I want to remind you that driving with a BAC of .08 or higher is illegal in every state. If you follow my blog you will see that in Tennessee we continue to see a tragic number of people with debilitating injuries and deaths as a result of impaired driving. This careless disregard for human life must stop
Drunk driving is one of America’s deadliest crimes. In Tennessee in 2008, 327 people were killed in crashes where the driver or motorcyclist had a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 or higher. That is down from 377 people killed in 2007 with a BAC of .08 or higher. Over the 2008 Labor Day holiday, 12 people were killed in 10 fatal crashes on Tennessee roadways, down from 17 people killed on Tennessee roadways in 2007.
With the winter holidays approaching we must redouble out efforts and be vigilant in reminding our family and friends of the dangers and the high price, not just the driver, but his passengers and families pay as the result of an automobile accident. If you see a driver who appears to be drunk dial *847 and report them to the Tennessee State Troopers.
