Two young brothers were killed in a car crash Saturday while traveling home from a monster truck show in Tacoma. Their mother was driving them home when she crossed over the center divider into oncoming traffic. An SUV struck the passenger side of the car, injuring the woman's 8- and 11-year-old sons, who later died at a local hospital. The driver of the SUV was not seriously injured. The boys' mother is suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol and may be charged with vehicular manslaughter.
Sadly, drunk driving crashes such as this one are often fatal. Statistics show that drunk driving deaths make up 43% of all traffic fatalities in Washington.
