     This is a public service announcement regarding drinking and driving.
     Don't roll your eyes and say, "Oh, I don't need to see this."
     Yes. You do. So do your friends, your family and anyone else you know.

     The following images are here to help illustrate the real very real danger of mixing drinking alcohol and driving a car. I don't make a practice of posting things like this on my website, however when I received the email with this story I thought it would be the right thing to do in that it might be found, read and possibly make at least one person think before doing something stupid.

    This is a pretty harsh series of pictures, but you only have to look at them. Imagine being in them.
    Or that she's your best friend.
    Or your sister.
    Or anyone else for that matter.

This is Jacqueline Saburido on September 19, 1999.

This is her and her Father, 1998.

This is her on Vacation in Venezuela.

Her birthday party as a child.

At a party with friends.

The car in which Jacqueline traveled.
She was hit by another car that was driven by a 17-year old male student on his way home after drinking a couple of hard packs with his friends.
This was in December 1999.

After the accident Jacqueline has needed over 40 operations. Jacqueline was caught in the burning car and her body was heavily burnt for 45 seconds.

With her Father, 2000.

Getting treatment.

Three months after accident.
Without a left eyelid Jacquie needs eye drops to keep her vision.

Now 20 year old, he cannot forgive himself for driving drunk on that night three years ago.He's aware of devastating Jacqueline Saburidos life.

Not everyone who gets hit with a car dies. This picture was taken 4 years after the accident and the doctors are still working on Jacqueline, whose body was covered with 60% severe burnings.

I've posted this as a service and would appreciate your sending the link to as many people as possible.
You may not want to expose your friends or kids to this graphic material, but this is good knowledge for
anyone to have, including yourself.

This could happen to anyone. Make sure your friends and children understand that.

Thank you.
