Car crashes in Michigan can turn fatal far too easily and far too often. When the added factor of an impaired driver is involved, the probability of injury or death increases greatly. Families are often left to struggle with their grief and wondering whether any different actions could have possibly prevented these types of car accidents. Two families are likely facing this exact pain as they mourn the loss of two 18-year-old men who died in a collision that -- according to police -- may have been caused by a drunk driver.

When loved ones are killed in automobile accidents caused by intoxicated drivers, the trauma experienced by the family is often intensified. This is because such an accident would not have occurred had the driver not been operating a vehicle while under the influence. Despite campaigns to reduce the occurrences of drunk driving, such car accidents are reported in Michigan daily.
