In Minnesota today, a 19-year old girl is facing prison for crashing her car and killing her friend. Whether or not she's convicted, her life will never be the same again.
The crash didn't occur on the way home from the party. It happened the next morning at 8:45 a.m. as she drove to work. She'd been drinking the night before and thought she was safe because she'd gotten a few hours of sleep.
The crash may have happened anyway. She was driving a little too fast and lost control of the car when she hit some black ice. But she's been charged with criminal vehicular homicide because her blood alcohol concentration was still .108 that morning.
If your teen was out partying last night - think long and hard before you let them take the car to school or work the next morning.
And remember the girl who died in the back seat before you let your teen drive with someone else who was partying last night either!
