More awareness needs to be generated of the negative consequences of drinking and driving.

 

Especially after the accident near Lorette earlier this week involving alcohol that killed a young man and left a teen in critical condition.

Doug Mowbray of mothers against drinking and driving says the statistics are proof of people's irresponsibility.

The numbers show about half of traffic related fatalities involve alcohol.

Meanwhile, Mowbray says they are still looking for volunteers to help out in a number of areas.

He says they need board members, speakers and even people to help out at events.
