As long as people are allowed to drink alcohol and then get behind the wheel while their senses and reflexes are dulled, there will be accidents. Many of these drunk driving accidents result in the death of at least one other person. A 24-year-old Georgia resident was recently killed as a result of drunk driving. A news outlet had made an initial report that a vehicle had pulled to the shoulder of I-85 with a flat tire around 6 a.m on a recent morning. The 24-year-old male was still inside his immobilized vehicle when another car came along and crashed into him. His vehicle was pushed into one of the lanes of interstate traffic, where an 18-wheeler slammed into it and caused the vehicle to burst into flames. The young driver did not survive the collisions.

The interstate system was designed to make traveling easier and yes, faster. However, too many drivers go too fast on the interstate highways with little regard to safety toward others and themselves. While passenger vehicles can do much damage on their own, a semi-truck accident typically results in greater damage, just from the sheer weight and size of the truck. Four people died in a truck accident on a Georgia interstate after the big rig crashed into the rear of their pickup truck. A video from a business just off the interstate showed a semi-truck traveling northbound along I-75, slowing down for an accident several miles ahead. The pickup truck was behind the semi and also began to slow. A second semi came up behind the pickup truck, but the driver never engaged the brakes. The rig slammed into the pickup truck and pushed it into the back of the first semi.…
