Terrifying Journey of a Drunken Driver

It was a long weekend and a group of friends decided to set out for a long trip in their car. All between the age group of 19 to 25, decided to have a blast with drinks. Who just doesn’t love it? So, were they totally excited about the fun.

‘Who can stop us from enjoying life’ saying so they began their journey on a late Wednesday evening. Fear factor just did not find place in their attitude, not even the safety aspect. Once their car set off on a long ride, the driver of the car began drinking. The effect of alcohol was taking its toll on the young alcoholics

Can you see that happy face smiling as if he is on top of the world?

They had a long way to drive before reaching their destination. It was an empty road and their excitement was at its height.

After having driven for a while they decided to halt to take rest. Their spiritful mood was shown up with spirits in their hands. Little were they aware of the dangerous journey ahead of them. With irresponsible drinking habits not only are they putting their lives under risk but also the risk of others in the car and on the road.

An hour later they decided to drive the car and reach their destination before it was dawn, completely ignoring the fact that all of them were drunk and are just not in a position to even walk. I wonder how someone can be so careless about their own lives in the first place!

The group did manage driving for a while, how long can somebody withstand the effect of alcoholic drinks, soon the driver of the vehicle lost his control and the car went crashing near a bend against another car coming from opposite direction.

The car toppled after it went crashing against the car coming in the opposite direction. While the driver the car died on the spot others suffered severe injuries. It was a fateful day for Mr. & Mrs. Paul who where travelling in the opposite direction.
