On Tuesday June 23rd, 2008 a man was sentenced 17 years in prison after crashing his car into another car, and killing a 13 year boy. It happened last summer. The crash took place in Bakersfield, south of Sacramento, California. Gordon Tutton was intoxicated when he ran through a stop sign, and hit a car crossing the street. This resulted in the 13 year old’s death and seriously injured mother. After a two week trial the jury found the defendant guilty for vehicular manslaughter.
According to MADD:
“Over 1.46 million drivers were arrested in 2006 for driving under the influence of alcohol or narcotics. This is an arrest rate of 1 for every 139 licensed drivers in the United States.”
“In 2006, an estimated 17,602 people died in alcohol-related traffic crashes—an average of one every 30 minutes. These deaths constitute 41 percent of the 42,642 total traffic fatalities. Of these, an estimated 13,470 involved a driver with an illegal BAC (.08 or greater). On average someone is killed by a drunk driver every 39 minutes.”
