11/1 Wrong-way Driver
There was a wrong way driver on the 91 freeway on October 26th in the morning. She is facing felony charges for drunk driving after hitting a car head-on that contained 4 passengers. The wreck killed the front two passengers and injured the back two. The wrong-way driver was confirmed to be a 21 year-old Fullerton woman and was to believed drunk at the time. I think this is a very strange passage and also very mind blowing. I do not know what I would do if I saw someone driving towards me on the freeway. I first would be scared out of my mind and try to move out of the way in any way possible. It would suck because obviously someone would get hit sooner or later and you know there would be a death in the process. The impact of the collision would be very intense and could do a lot of damage. I am shocked that the driver is still alive to be able to get convicted of a felony. I would imagine that the driver of both vehicles would be killed instantly on a head-on collision. I now want to look at this from another perspective. What is going through the minds of the nieces of the two killed in this collision. They are injured by the stupid mistake of the drunk driver and their aunt and uncle were killed in the accident. They are now going to have to live with that image in their head for the rest of their lives of their aunt and uncle dead.

I think that the drunk driver should get the worst possible sentence. The driver was not supposed to be on the road in the first place, was way to drunk (considering they were driving the wrong way), and killed two innocent people and injured two other. The driver is going to have to live forever with this guilt in the back of their mind.
