Has it really been nine years? September 7, 2017 is a date I still feel in my body. My husband and I were rear-ended by a drunk driver in Las Vegas, and what should have been a simple vacation moment turned into a dramatic, pivotal memory that never really lets go. I’m re-releasing this story again because “drunk driving” can sound like an abstract warning until it becomes your life, your car, your marriage, your recovery, and your sense of safety.
I talk through why this crash matters years later, and why I believe impaired driving should never happen, not once. We get honest about how drastically a DUI crash can change lives and how hard it is to watch accountability play out when the person who hit you has driven drunk before and even drives drunk again after. This isn’t a courtroom breakdown, it’s the human cost of a drunk driving accident, told plainly and without softening the edges.
You’ll also hear the love I have for my husband and what the aftermath asks of him, because the consequences of a rear-end collision don’t stop when the scene clears. If you’ve ever wondered how to intervene, how to make a safer call after drinking, or why DUI awareness stories need to be repeated, this one is for you.
If this story hits home, please subscribe, share it with someone you care about, and leave a review so more people hear it and choose a safe ride home.
