In 2016, Arizona Department of transportation received more than 1,600 reports of wrong-way drivers.

Twenty-seven of those crashes have had serious injury, or death and more than 100 drivers involved in those incidents were arrested for driving while intoxicated.

Our beautiful son, Christopher was killed on January 10th, 2016.  The drunk driver that killed Christopher had three previous drug and alcohol driving convictions and was driving on a suspended license.  He committed his fourth DUI offence when he murder Christopher, before driving twelve miles in the wrong direction.  The drunk driver had a blood alcohol level that exceeded 3 times the legal limit.   


Our beloved Andrew Joseph perished on Saturday, March 19, 2016. He was struck, head-on and killed by a drunk (3X the legal limit), wrong way driver. There were two cars involved in the primary crash, which lead to a secondary crash involving two more cars. In total, seven people were involved in the crash and two (the two drivers in the primary crash) were dead at the scene.
