Two Dead in Weekend Crashes
CBC News

Two people died in a pair of fatal crashes in Milton over the weekend.

The crashes, which happened just hours apart early Sunday morning, also left four others injured. The first crash happened at about 3 a.m. A male teen was killed when his car went out of control on Eighth Line and flew into a hydro pole near a farmer's field.

The teen, who was alone in the car, was pronounced dead at the scene. Not far away, about two hours later, a car crashed into a guardrail on Tremaine Road, ejecting and killing a 17-year-old male passenger.

Three others in the car — an 18-year-old male and female, as well as the 17-year-old male driver — were taken to hospital with serious injuries.

Police say both speed and alcohol may have been factors in this crash.

On behalf of Student Life Education Company Inc. we are sorry to hear two young people have died from what possibly was the cause of impaired and distracted driving.

At the end of this article it mentioned that the Police believe both speed and alcohol may have been a factor in this car crash.

I’m in charge of a program called National Students Against Impaired and Distracted Driving DAY. I want to let you know the chemical effect of alcohol impairs judgment and causes the bodies motor functions and reflex actions to be slowed and less controlled. Inexperience drivers can lose their life or the life of the passenger(s). In addition, their license if they drive impaired and/or distracted can be taken away. Also your insurance or the insurance of your parents has go sky high! In this case there was more than just a driver’s license that was lost.

I’m sadden that we have had so many loss of lives this month. On behalf of Student Life Education Company Inc. we are sorry to hear two young people have died from what possibly was the cause of impaired and distracted driving.

What is impaired and distracted driving and how can it impact YOU

Hey everyone!

Every day there are teenagers across Canada who have felt the impact of impaired and distracted driving. Believe it or not impaired and distracted driving has an impact on all sexes, races and age groups across Canada and teenagers are not excluded. Across Canada there are numerous cases where we witness in the news of young teenagers that have gone behind the wheel while have consumed excessive amounts of alcohol or drugs. These cases are popular examples of impaired driving and at times the result has not been pretty.

A teenager might say, “Why should I even care, I’m only young once and it’s my life and I can do whatever I want even if it means drinking.” As a student living in Ontario I have heard this very same quote from a friend of mine and I’m sure there could be others who have heard this same quote from their friends as well. This kind of attitude can lead to impaired and distracted driving and there are unfortunate circumstances to this, for example: you could loose your driver’s license and/or potentially be held in jail for a period of time. Finally, impaired driving can lead to lost lives. Across Canada there are teenagers that have lost a friend due to impaired and distracted driving and you wonder how they must feel going to school in the morning not seeing their best friend anymore. Can you imagine that?
