Saturday, 29th October was just another day for both Doug Kozar and Kate Kohlier. But their lives were cut short when a car careened off the road and hit them.
Police said that a drunk driver is to blame. The car belongs to one dentist, and it seems he was speeding when he hit a curb, spun out of control and slid several planters while hitting both Kozar and Kohlier. Kohlier died on the spot while Kozar was pronounced dead in an ambulance. Another person was injured when he tried to jump out of the way of the car.

The driver was arrested on two counts of DUI manslaughter, two counts of vehicular homicide and one count of driving under the influence with injury.
This may be another story of life taken away by a drunk driver, but it can happen to you also. You as a driver must be responsible not for your own life but of that of others. If the man had decided not to drive on that day, it would have spared the lives of both Kozar and Kohlier.
DUI accidents have been the major cause of road fatalities not only in USA but around the globe. A lot of DUI awareness programs have been passing on the message about the risk you could take if you drive under the influence.
