You think this is bad, just wait until they legalize marijuana in November. Of course the marijuana lobby will ignore the large increase in the number of fatal car accidents in Washington and Colorado since it was legalized there.

The bars close at 2:00 am. People leave with a belly full of booze. They climb into their cars. Their blood alcohol levels keep rising as they head on down the road. Then they finally encounter something to collide with….. This pattern is repeated over and over and another person is dead, so sad and so disturbing.


I hope that we can find out what led a 68 year old man on to the side of the highway at 2:20 a.m.
