No Down Payment, No Interest, No Payments 'til July '95!‘ :csaégrg% MILTON IE An ambulance entourage rushed past me towards the scene of destruction. Two adults were dragged from the dilap- idated vehicle, their faces unidentifiable. What followed next will forever be etched on my brain. From the back seat â€" a small baby girl â€" still in her car seat, was carefully removed. A blanket was still clutched in her arms. Her mouth was open, forever frozen in a silent scream. This child, barely born, was now dead. I stand here; the rain pelting dawn, blurring my vision. Men and women in blue stand around me. People are talk- ing, lights are flashing, and shouts are screamed, and yet, I hear nothing. My eyes can only focus on the scene in front of me. One car lay overturned on its side. The ditch it lays in was filled with a shock of red, the body of the car almost indistinguishable. The second vehicle stood upright, a few dents and scratches slightly marring its surface.

No matter where I went, or what I did, I would never be able to escape the horror and despair that I had caused by falling into the evil statistics of those who’ve had ‘one too many.’ The driver of the other vehicle stood apart from the crowd, sullenly watching. Two bruises were the only physical scars. My mind is whirling; I can barely stand. So many lives snuffed out in their prime, such an unnecessary waste. I could only stare at the jagged edges of the beer bottles strewn carelessly in the mud. Drinking, such a simple, enjoyable pastime, had turned into a hideous night- mare. The consumption of alcohol in itself was not the evil, the driving under the influence was. .m
