Stop assuming/presuming that all crashes involve alcohol.

Let's just pray for the families that this was not another senseless tragedy of drinking and driving. Losing a loved one to a vehicle accident is difficult enough, but, losing them to a alcohol or speed related one, makes it almost unbearable. Living daily, with the thought, it may have been avoided if someone would of used some sense and not got behind the wheel, while under the influence.
