A paralysed teen helps stop drunk driving

A teenage girl is warning other teens about the dangers of drunk driving. Stacey Williams, 18, was paralysed from the neck down after she was in a car accident in February. The accident killed three of her teen friends who were also in the car. The driver, a 24-year-old man, is now in jail for ten years for drunk driving. 

Stacey comes from Gwynedd in Wales and has done a video interview for a police campaign there to stop people drinking and driving this Christmas. In the interview she says the accident ruined her life and that she hadn’t evenrealized the driver was drunk. "I was telling him to stop and to slow down but he wasn't listening… I never knew that anything was wrong with him. He didn't act drunk to me. Drunk to me would be falling over. He was fine." Stacey thinks schools should teach teens how to know if someone is drunk or on drugs - so that other teens don't end up like her.
