What a tragic way to learn that driving drunk does not mix. In return this man can now share his mistake to children and adults never to get in a vehicle while intoxicated. What a blessing also that with both this family and him they can find forgiveness and support! God bless you all!
it is upsetting that the people who weren't drunk are always in worst condition or dead after a drunk driver crash while the person who is drunk is not harmed at all or not as badly as the other people in the accident. it isn't really fair.
I've heard, but don't quote me, that it's because of the alcohol. They basically go limp and move more with the vehicle so they aren't as badly injured.
What you're saying is actually true. In Highway Engineering (where this particular topic does come up as it should) our class learned that's why the drunks more often than not come out ok because since they're so doped they are more malleable in a crash.
The drunk driver might of had a short prison sentence but knowing the fact his actions took the life of another person is a life time torture sentence to him.
I wouldn't be surprised if he's doing PSA for the local police or sheriff's department wherever he's living about drinking and driving as well as speaking to high school classes about it. He's definitely paid his dues and is really remorseful about what happened. I hope that he's doing well and gotten himself back together.
That would be impossible. Parole would be the term. Bail is a term used pre-trial. I would certainly imagine there was a trial in which he was sentenced.
sad...good episode. Glad the guy that hit them was very ashamed & sorry for what he did, & speaks to children about it. Sorry for Patricia & the man that was killed more than anything! RIP>>
That man owned up to his mistake when so many others just deny it. I’m happy that the woman forgave him. Now both of them are trying to make the world a better place
@@Scott-og1pi Yeah, my uncle died because of a drunk driver. Had a fancy, expensive lawyer and got off on a technicality because the cop that arrested him screwed up and didn't do the breathalyzer when he was supposed to. It was his fourth or fifth offense. Some places are a joke when it comes to people like that.
My mom worked in a brewery before I was born. She told me when guys were too drunk to drive she did this test to see if they were aware of what going on. The test was she took their car keys and made them recite the alphabet to the 11th letter, K (My mom's name was that) and you would be surprised on how many people couldn't figure the 11th letter. They would keep saying "the 11th letter is J!! Right!?" and she would say "No that's not it" So essentially she did a letter breathalyzer on them to see if they were visually sane to drive. Pretty cool if you ask me
Yup I think that if someone couldn't count up to their tenth finger, presumably they still have all of them, and then add one more for K , which by the way is my mom's name as well.🙂 And now she has three granddaughter in-laws with Katie, Kayla and Catelyn and a great grand child Katelyn...🙂 But that's besides the point.🤣 . Yea but even if they could get up to their eleventh finger... That doesn't mean they wouldn't get hit by the alcohol once they get outside,I know that that was when It hit me. In the fresh air.
Jen martin One time I have a terrible cold and took Nyquil which contains 10% alcohol. I have followed the directions but I go up with a hangover the following morning. However school was out that day and I didn't drive back then.
Your life is based on choices. When you drink and drive, you don't have much of a choice. Even if it is your first conviction, you could end up with serious consequences that not only affect you but the lives of others. Think before you drink.
She still choose to forgive him. That is a very hard thing do and I will tell you this that repenting from something like this happening is not an easy thing to do.
You'd be wishing yourself into a world without him then, it's where you'd be... Would you wonder some time in the future if he ever regretted it and wished beyond all his possessions he could have made up for it if he had the chance? OK, maybe not all people do that. Still.
I love that this man owned his shit and turned himself into an example. I cant believe how light of a sentence he had but he truly regrets his actions. Im inspired by the victims willing to forgive and they were even involved with helping him reach out to teens to prevent this! Horribly tragic story but in its own way, a beautiful ending.
It's cause he's white. They even gave him a chance to speak and try to make him seem like a nice guy. But the truth is that he's a selfish son of a bitch!
In my country he'd only got 3,5 years max, so I was kinda shocked to hear he got 6,5 to 15 years... But I always open my heart for people with remorse and guilt, and bigger respect to people who can forgive. I pray these people can have a better, peaceful life after the accident. Being a big girl myself, I can't imagine how hard it would feel if boh my thighs are broken...I just got crack in my palm bone (I don't know what it called in English) once and already I pissed my pants in spot from the pain... 😭😨
@@sensboy1 Why American always whining about skin color and gender, I really can't relate. Biggest, richest country in the world, feeling superior to others, but can't overlook such petty subjects. Difference occurs in my country (Indonesia) as well, from dark to pale skin, over 300 ethnicities, from Malayan, Negrito, Arabs, Indian, European, to Chinese descents, over 700 languages, and many religions...but we actually proud of the difference and made it our uniqueness, it's our identity...

Those old pickup trucks are unsafe af lol It took me getting a dui for me to realize I had a serious drinking and drug problem. Thank God I never injured anyone like this man and today I am a living example of Gods grace and grateful for a second chance at life.
Reason I hate alcohol. My great grand mother was killed by one and grandmother was seriously injured the the same wreck. Years later my dad was driving a large RV when a drunk driver ran a stop sign. my dad was okay but the drunk driver died a week later in the hospital.
On Full House after Kimmy got drunk at a party JD tells her that her mother was killed by a drunk driver and she wasn't going to lose her best friend the same way.
I lost a cousin to drunk driving about 20 years ago. His buddy was driving the car while drunk down a county road and they hit a tree doing over 70, nearly splitting the car in two. The drunk had only cuts but my cousin died on the way to the hospital and his other buddy lost a leg and nearly died.
He seems to really be a changed man. I do hate drunk drivers so much, they cause so much pain in this world. I had a childhood friend whose dad was killed by a drunk driver
He could of wait untill beer is out of his system before driving or bring another friend to drive in their car for him but he wouldn’t even stop the truck and he keep on going why don’t he stop driving in the first place if he didn’t drive his truck this wouldn’t happen and how many beer can in his truck that take over their life and see dead driver that already killed by that man already stay in the jail and he can’t drive anymore
I know somebody that lost family members due to a drunk driver. The impact was so severe that both cars caught on fire. Nobody survived including the drunk driver. When you make that choice to get into your car and drive while intoxicated you have no idea what might happen. Maybe you will get home safely, maybe you won't get pulled over. But what if you don't get so lucky? Too many lives are lost. Call a cab or a trusted friend to come get you. Life is way too precious.
If I drink I’m at the place I’ll be sleeping at or I have a sober driver, mainly my mother she don’t drink. But I haven’t had a drink in over a year. Please people don’t drink and drive. Be safe. Love this show thank you.
That's what I thought too. I also thought: "Two wrongs don't make a right" when Patricia's mother said if she'd had a hold of the driver (Paul) she would kill him 😥 PS...Patricia's parents honestly could pass for her grandparents...
+GTFO I would have to agree with you, also I hope Those Kids in that Gym, listen to what That Guy is saying to them, Because That Could Be Them, If They Ever Did what That Guy had Done, Also If I ever see a drunk person, I would offer Him or Her a ride to His or her house, then another week later I would call him or her on the phone to see if he or she is all right.
My grandmother was killed by a drunk along with another person in 1979. The person jumped bond. I know this person sentence is live with it the rest of their life. In 1987, classmate was on motorcycle coming from a party. He passed.
I was hit by a drunk driver when my mother was driving me home from work. The woman who hit us never said sorry at all to us. As a result, my mom’s back is messed up forever and my back is sprained as well. It’s been 11 years and that day never leaves my mind. I just remember the police yanking this woman out of her car and throwing her down to the ground because she was drunk and resisting. I also remember the officer telling my mom and I that the other driver was under arrest for DWI. My mom just started crying and I was so stunned that I couldn’t speak. We had to sue this woman for the damages caused to us and to this day, she’s still allowed to drive. It angers me to no end because this wasn’t her first offense and she could do it again.
Takes a few seconds to do the damage but sometimes years to undo it--and sometimes it can't be undone at all. So sorry the drunk driver had no remorse or was so defiant.
I remember a doctor saying that if someone has a alcohol or drug problem that's bad enough that they need to see him, then there is nearly 100% probability of severe early childhood abuse usually sexual and or physical
That's one thing that always gets me these days how repeat offenders of DWI or OWI don't get their licenses permanently revoked when it's obvious they shouldn't be in a vehicle, let alone operating it in any way.
Actually, you can learn a lot from those shows, not just lessons alone. I was in an EMS club for a year now. I realized the importance of taking vitals and assessing victims. Yet, I only know some CPR.
Thats the more of the story don't drive when your drunk... The sincerity of the man writing a letter for the victim and forgive him for what he have done...
this death is 1 out of only four deaths ive seen on rescue 911. this one, a kid butane huffing, a elderly man car hit by a couple of train box cars, and a scuba diver.
I believe these were the only four deaths in the series during a re-enactment. The others were either in a documentary segment, or in a segment where the rescue was caught on tape. Examples include the Baltimore Cops segment, the Houston Trauma Documentary segment, and the Atlanta Fire segment.
Oh there were several. The Amtrak derailment most of the people in the first three passenger cars died. And the engine cars on both trains disintegrated on impact, all the engineers and pilots died on both. There was a cop shot by a hood who robbed a bar. The Norwegian girl killed by a drunk on a visit, there was a boating accident where one of the guys was lost at sea, the butane huffer, and a teen girl who tried to kill herself with athsma inhaler though she survived.
@@caitydid86 That was a heart attack episode but the 300+ pound clown didn't die from it. Keep wine and grape juice handy if you're into eating a lot of cholesterol, might keep you alive better.
Today head on collisions aren't nearly as often deadly as they were in 1992 when this happened. Airbags and stronger structures, as well as much higher seat belt use rates have helped a lot. But head on collisions still kill a lot of people when they occur at highway speeds or when one vehicle is much smaller than the other. March 30, 2019 5:42 am
Sad how many people STILL cause this amount of irreparable damage to the lives of others... despite nearly 40 years of PSAs aggressively targeting this behavior. Why do people continue to think, "Oh, it'll never happen to ME!"
Maybe you didn't get it the first time, so let's try it this way. Here's a bottle of alcohol, let's say this is _YOU._ You see that brick wall right there? That's the aftermath. This is what happens when you drink and drive... ( *_VIOLENTLY SMASHES THE BOTTLE AGAINST THE WALL, GLASS AND ALCOHOL EXPLODE IN EVERY DIRECTION!!!!!_* ) The aftermath? That's your life shattering before your eyes! _...Any questions?_
Pause at 1:25 -- that terrified look on her friend's face just before the impact...and she's just looking at him as if: "What's that face for?" and the guy is the one who dies in the accident 😢
It’s been 28 years since this happened so Patricia is 63 now or almost 64 depending on what month her birthday is. Drinking and driving don’t mix. Drinking alcohol that is. When I saw the crash, I was terrified.
I wish people would think before they drink and drive. I have had 4 family members doing this crap within a 4 yr span. 1 was placed in a coma for over a month. 2 totalled his vehicle that he just paid off and went broke with his lawyer. He went to college to repair ac units just to find out they won't hire him for several years because of his DUI. Unfortunately he still drinks a 12pk daily. 3 got kicked out of the army for drinking and driving on the army base, crashing into something and leaving the scene of an accident. 4 broke mult bones, messed up his spine, neck and he still drinks. He's had 2 prior DUI. 😢 All were under the age of 30 😞
As a volunteer firefighter I can confirm seat belts can hurt you I've had multiple mvas where the seat belt was the cause of the fatality if either not adjusted correctly or not warn right but in the case of the impact it would break next slice open throats and I've even seen it to where it crushes collar bones and does a lot more life threatening injuries than the wreck would have induced
I take it very personal when it comes to driving drunk. I want to scream HOW DARE YOU PUT PEOPLE'S LIVES IN DANGER!! I think she is a very strong person to forgive because I don't know if I could.
I praise you Patricia because if that was me I would never forgive. But in this situation he took the fact that e killed an innocent person and paid the price. I’m glad that he speaks to high school students but these student even adults still don’t listen and still drink and drive
Probably got a slap on the hand. Should have had his license taking away after the third time. And people like him should get a life sentence for person they kill when they drink and drive
It’s been 30 years since this happened so Patricia is 65 now or almost 66 depending on what month her birthday is. This happened on a Tuesday and Elijah Wood's 11th birthday, Joey Fatone of *NSYNC's 15th birthday, and Backstreet Boys Nick Carter's 12th birthday. It also happened the day before my 9 1/2 birthday. Paul was sentenced to 7-15 years in prison and was bailed out in 2017. His license was revoked permanently. That's what happens when someone drinks and drives. I'm sure Patricia can never say "Thank you" enough to those who saved her life and probably said that to them.
Someone in the parking lot at the post office almost backed into us today. Wasn't even looking or paying attention. Think he'd been drinking, scared me so much I almost peed my pants.
Ya that's sad. Drinking and driving 1st mistake 2nd to the post office afterwards. That's mind-boggling why would a drunk person be at a post office? 3rd well #3 is just an observation but I'd assume this was during the day of course. You shouldn't be driving drunk regardless of what time it is however doing so when the post office would be open if you didn't think it wasn't a problem initially you should now
@@AFGSANFORD2 I've heard of some states that have issued licenses to those who've had them revoked in others if there's no warrants or outstanding tickets that haven't been paid
In my state of NJ, if you’re caught with a DUI a second time, you’ll be fined a huge sum, given a prison sentence and your license is revoked for 10 years. Once it’s up, you have to drive with a interlock device in your vehicle for six months. Anything after that, you can’t drive ever again.
It's very rare to see someone who has killed others show actual genuine remorse for what they have done and I do genuinely hope that this guy has made good changes in his life. That being said in most cases like this I'd say the best course of action against a drunk driver who murders others would be for the state to put them to death because what they've done is really no different then when someone walks into a 7/11 murders the clerk and takes the cash from the till.
Hammerhead547 actually murder is when you make a decision to kill someone and you plan it out. A drunk person does not say "I'm gonna go kill someone today." Driving drunk is the decision they made and they choice they made. Killing someone because of that is a sad consequence to that choice. I don't think people should drive drunk but if they do decide to do that and end up killing someone that's not murder.
I agree with you. I think he was sincerely sorry for what took place. Drinking and driving don't mix, though, and sadly Paul learned this the hard way. He even said "You better be aware." as in: "What happened to me might happen to you."
As much as he destroyed one life and permanently crippled another, he did have courage to partially narrate this and admit all responsibility for it when most usually would never do that. Nice classic 1978 or 1979 Ford used here (I had one and it weighed 4800 pounds so the small pickup was no match when they hit) It appears the engine in the small truck was torn off it's motor mounts and was driven right into the cab of the small truck. Unfortunately, 11,000 were killed by drunk drivers (the most recent stats are from 2020) last year. The scene at 6:20 is so chilling. You're alive on a nice night and then you're not and this was entirely preventable.
It's really sad and senseless when collisions like this occur because they are completely preventable. The man who caused this collision looked like he was getting up there in age. I think that when someone lives long enough to get gray hair they should have gained some wisdom. I can understand this lady's anger with this man. It sounds like the man who caused this collision didn't learn from his mistakes since he had 4 prior convictions. I think that the state did the right thing permanently revoking this man's license. I think that the lady he injured has a strong heart. I don't know that I could be as forgiving in a situation like this
I HAD 2 JOBS GOING TO SCHOOL AND. DOING A BIT OF TRAVELING. I HAD MY LIFE RIGHT WHERE I WANTED IT., ALL THAT CHANGED ON AUG THE 11TH. AT 5:00 PM. At 18 years old, I was a victim of a Drunk Driver, IT CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER! over 20 SURGERIES SO FAR. JUST TO LIVE. THE GUY THAT GOT ME GOT ONLY 1 NIGHT IN JAIL IN 1976. I AM 62 NOW AND WILL DEAL WITH THIS THE REST OF MY LIFE, HE WAS ABLE TO GO ON WITH HIS LIFE, I HAD PLANS. I WAS GOING TO GET MARRIED, HAVE CHILDREN, GRANDCHILDREN, LIVE ON A FARM, TRAVEL TO A FEW PLACES. DONT DRINK& DRIVE, SAVE LIVES!.
i am glade the family was willing to forgive him for what he did. My mother was an alcoholic and to my amazement she would drive drinking and drunk and hung over..and i be in the back seat as a little kid..i am surprised she never ended up getting us hurt or ended up killing anyone..i am glade their is forgiveness for what has happen to all parties ..such a sad story..
Especially my 7th favorite country music singers Which is Keith Whitley lost his life on May 9th 1989 after he sustained a blood alcohol level of 0.47 . If he was driving with that much alcohol in his body he would have been arrested and his wife would have been telling him to go to rehab and cut his alcohol addiction out.
What bugs me about this is that drunk driving can be completely eliminated. In some places people who have reapet DUI convinctions have a system installed in their car by court order. I have no clue what this system is called but it is a breathalizer that is wired into the car's ignition system. Before you are able to drive, you have the blow through the breathalizer, if you have had any alcoholic beverage, the system prevents the car from starting so you cannot drive it. If thses systems were standard in all cars, drunk driving would be eliminated, problem is as usual is money, Car companies will not put the money into installing these systems in their cars so people die needlessly. when they do not need to.
That's likely because they care more about the green than their customers. Not only that, but not every one drinks and drives. Installing it in car of a person who doesn't drink and drive is a pain in the ass and they would prefer the customer be happy.
You sound like a sappy, emotional, impractical twat. I don't drink, much less drive drunk, why the hell should I have to blow in a fucking tube to start my car? Or keep it running for that matter? It's not the 'greedy car companies', it's people not wanting to have their car shut off every 5 miles to retest. Imagine getting attacked and you try to make a get away but the car won't start till you blow in a tube, meanwhile you get shot through the window. Or maybe you're out camping in an isolated area, had a couple brews with the boys, only for someone to have a cardiac arrest. His only hope is to get him closer so a real ambulance can take him, but the car won't start because it detects alcohol. So he dies waiting on ambulance that couldn't get there. Great fucking idea, moron.
maxdecphoenix why would the car shut off every five miles? And yeah, “a couple of brews” is DRUNK DRIVING. Congrats, you’ve just proved their point. If you justify drunk driving in any way, you shouldn’t be driving. Period. There is no excuse.
maxdecphoenix fact is, you only see a problem with that because you want to excuse driving drunk. You said you don’t do it so there shouldn’t be any problem there (:
I hope people learn a lesson from this: Drinking and driving don’t mix. Have a sober driver take the wheel. If you’re at a party, serve alcohol in moderation, as well as non-alcoholic beverages, and plenty of food.

I have to say that I lost my Wife and kids to a drunk driver on December 27, 1998, this hits home with me! It took me 20 years for me to forgive the person who took Amy Ryan Rachel and the baby that Amy was pregnant with! Since that day I have vowed NEVER to drink alcohol again. Am I angry at this person ABSOLUTELY but does it make me a better person to forgive him for his transgression YES! Oh, and I do have to say that he will never leave prison alive!
It's best to just drink at home. It's safer and you don't have to worry about getting possibly a DUI or worse getting killed or killing someone else. Always, have a plan.when you go and decide to drink. Taxi or DD!!
God bless all of them for forgiving each other..... The driver did not intend to kill anyone. It was just a mistake for him to drink and drive... Lesson learned.. God bless the soul of the other driver who passed away...
That man who drank and drove took a life and harmed a woman seriously! He should have been sentenced with life in prison. If I was the lady who was hurt from the accident I wouldn't have forgiven him! That lady is a true saint.
this should be a lesson never drink and drive because you could have injured yourself or a neigh person. glad Paul reach out to the victim to see how she was doing.
she lived cause of all her "padding"! Was that too harsh? Glad she is alive and well. Just keep some "mad money" tucked away for a unplanned expenditure like a taxi/uber etc.

My brother has been sober since 2012 and I thank God he never hurt or killed anyone. Three times arrested and forced treatment woke him up.
He could of wait untill his acholic beer is out of his system first before driving away or to move on or have a friend to drive 😳😵
Praise god his sobriety! Some don’t always wake up from that forced treatment
So very sorry for the loss of the driver of the small pick-up,but thank God that his passenger servived this tragic accident
Paul is now out on bail and still speaks to people about the dangers of DUI. DON'T DO IT!
Too bad, he should still be in prison.
David Flaatten He was charged as a drunk driver 4 times serves him right for his license revoked but he should’ve been sentenced to life in prison
Out on bail?
That would be impossible. Parole would be the term. Bail is a term used pre-trial. I would certainly imagine there was a trial in which he was sentenced.
He might not be in a physical prison, but he will be in a mental one forever.

It's cause he's white. They even gave him a chance to speak and try to make him seem like a nice guy. But the truth is that he's a selfish son of a bitch!
@@sensboy1 What Nonsense. Judger
In my country he'd only got 3,5 years max, so I was kinda shocked to hear he got 6,5 to 15 years... But I always open my heart for people with remorse and guilt, and bigger respect to people who can forgive. I pray these people can have a better, peaceful life after the accident. Being a big girl myself, I can't imagine how hard it would feel if boh my thighs are broken...I just got crack in my palm bone (I don't know what it called in English) once and already I pissed my pants in spot from the pain... 😭😨

Why American always whining about skin color and gender, I really can't relate. Biggest, richest country in the world, feeling superior to others, but can't overlook such petty subjects. Difference occurs in my country (Indonesia) as well, from dark to pale skin, over 300 ethnicities, from Malayan, Negrito, Arabs, Indian, European, to Chinese descents, over 700 languages, and many religions...but we actually proud of the difference and made it our uniqueness, it's our identity...

It took me getting a dui for me to realize I had a serious drinking and drug problem. Thank God I never injured anyone like this man and today I am a living example of Gods grace and grateful for a second chance at life.
Reason I hate alcohol. My great grand mother was killed by one and grandmother was seriously injured the the same wreck. Years later my dad was driving a large RV when a drunk driver ran a stop sign. my dad was okay but the drunk driver died a week later in the hospital.
On Full House after Kimmy got drunk at a party JD tells her that her mother was killed by a drunk driver and she wasn't going to lose her best friend the same way.
I lost a cousin to drunk driving about 20 years ago. His buddy was driving the car while drunk down a county road and they hit a tree doing over 70, nearly splitting the car in two. The drunk had only cuts but my cousin died on the way to the hospital and his other buddy lost a leg and nearly died.
I hate it too

He seems to really be a changed man. I do hate drunk drivers so much, they cause so much pain in this world. I had a childhood friend whose dad was killed by a drunk driver
Drinking and driving don’t go together one drink lead to car crash
He could of wait untill beer is out of his system before driving or bring another friend to drive in their car for him but he wouldn’t even stop the truck and he keep on going why don’t he stop driving in the first place if he didn’t drive his truck this wouldn’t happen and how many beer can in his truck that take over their life and see dead driver that already killed by that man already stay in the jail and he can’t drive anymore
I know somebody that lost family members due to a drunk driver. The impact was so severe that both cars caught on fire. Nobody survived including the drunk driver. When you make that choice to get into your car and drive while intoxicated you have no idea what might happen. Maybe you will get home safely, maybe you won't get pulled over. But what if you don't get so lucky? Too many lives are lost. Call a cab or a trusted friend to come get you. Life is way too precious.
And yet I always hear how the drunk driver ALWAYS survive and an innocent person dies....................🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
yes unfortunately you are correct. Usually the drunk driver survives.
If I drink I’m at the place I’ll be sleeping at or I have a sober driver, mainly my mother she don’t drink. But I haven’t had a drink in over a year. Please people don’t drink and drive. Be safe. Love this show thank you.
The driver of the small blue truck died from his injuries on the scene. The driver of the red truck was arrested and found guilty.

I do to. This is one of my favorite rescue 911 episodes.
EpicGamingTV The drunk driver is worthless.
Amber Dennis how so? he was also affected by the crash, it's not like he intended to kill the person.
That's what I thought too. I also thought: "Two wrongs don't make a right" when Patricia's mother said if she'd had a hold of the driver (Paul) she would kill him 😥
PS...Patricia's parents honestly could pass for her grandparents...
+GTFO I would have to agree with you, also I hope Those Kids in that Gym, listen to what That Guy is saying to them, Because That Could Be Them, If They Ever Did what That Guy had Done, Also If I ever see a drunk person, I would offer Him or Her a ride to His or her house, then another week later I would call him or her on the phone to see if he or she is all right.

Edie Baxter I’m sorry
Edie Baxter I’m so sorry!
I’m so sorry! 😢
I was hit by a drunk driver when my mother was driving me home from work. The woman who hit us never said sorry at all to us. As a result, my mom’s back is messed up forever and my back is sprained as well. It’s been 11 years and that day never leaves my mind. I just remember the police yanking this woman out of her car and throwing her down to the ground because she was drunk and resisting. I also remember the officer telling my mom and I that the other driver was under arrest for DWI. My mom just started crying and I was so stunned that I couldn’t speak. We had to sue this woman for the damages caused to us and to this day, she’s still allowed to drive. It angers me to no end because this wasn’t her first offense and she could do it again.
I am so sorry
Takes a few seconds to do the damage but sometimes years to undo it--and sometimes it can't be undone at all. So sorry the drunk driver had no remorse or was so defiant.
So sorry about what you’re dealing with. 😢
I remember a doctor saying that if someone has a alcohol or drug problem that's bad enough that they need to see him, then there is nearly 100% probability of severe early childhood abuse usually sexual and or physical
That's one thing that always gets me these days how repeat offenders of DWI or OWI don't get their licenses permanently revoked when it's obvious they shouldn't be in a vehicle, let alone operating it in any way.
Actually, you can learn a lot from those shows, not just lessons alone. I was in an EMS club for a year now. I realized the importance of taking vitals and assessing victims. Yet, I only know some CPR.

this death is 1 out of only four deaths ive seen on rescue 911. this one, a kid butane huffing, a elderly man car hit by a couple of train box cars, and a scuba diver.
I believe these were the only four deaths in the series during a re-enactment. The others were either in a documentary segment, or in a segment where the rescue was caught on tape. Examples include the Baltimore Cops segment, the Houston Trauma Documentary segment, and the Atlanta Fire segment.
There's one more in the first episode; it was a guy running from the police after holding up a grocery store.
Oh there were several. The Amtrak derailment most of the people in the first three passenger cars died. And the engine cars on both trains disintegrated on impact, all the engineers and pilots died on both.
There was a cop shot by a hood who robbed a bar. The Norwegian girl killed by a drunk on a visit, there was a boating accident where one of the guys was lost at sea, the butane huffer, and a teen girl who tried to kill herself with athsma inhaler though she survived.
A man died of a hard attack in the Send In The Clowns episode.
@@caitydid86 That was a heart attack episode but the 300+ pound clown didn't die from it. Keep wine and grape juice handy if you're into eating a lot of cholesterol, might keep you alive better.
Head-on collisions are the worst crash people can get into. Especially when one of the drivers on drugs or alcohol
Today head on collisions aren't nearly as often deadly as they were in 1992 when this happened. Airbags and stronger structures, as well as much higher seat belt use rates have helped a lot. But head on collisions still kill a lot of people when they occur at highway speeds or when one vehicle is much smaller than the other.

Sad how many people STILL cause this amount of irreparable damage to the lives of others... despite nearly 40 years of PSAs aggressively targeting this behavior. Why do people continue to think, "Oh, it'll never happen to ME!"

What an important episode
This episode should’ve been at the academy awards.
I wish people would think before they drink and drive. I have had 4 family members doing this crap within a 4 yr span. 1 was placed in a coma for over a month. 2 totalled his vehicle that he just paid off and went broke with his lawyer. He went to college to repair ac units just to find out they won't hire him for several years because of his DUI. Unfortunately he still drinks a 12pk daily. 3 got kicked out of the army for drinking and driving on the army base, crashing into something and leaving the scene of an accident. 4 broke mult bones, messed up his spine, neck and he still drinks. He's had 2 prior DUI. 😢
All were under the age of 30 😞
As a volunteer firefighter I can confirm seat belts can hurt you I've had multiple mvas where the seat belt was the cause of the fatality if either not adjusted correctly or not warn right but in the case of the impact it would break next slice open throats and I've even seen it to where it crushes collar bones and does a lot more life threatening injuries than the wreck would have induced
This episode should be at the academy awards.
I take it very personal when it comes to driving drunk. I want to scream HOW DARE YOU PUT PEOPLE'S LIVES IN DANGER!! I think she is a very strong person to forgive because I don't know if I could.
Seat belts. You're not defenseless against drunk drivers.
Seatbelts do save your life, but you do have to worry about drunk drivers. You never know when they will crash into you.
Sometimes seatbelts and airbags don't help.
My girlfriend was killed by a drunk driver the guy who did was sentenced to 60 years without parole
I praise you Patricia because if that was me I would never forgive. But in this situation he took the fact that e killed an innocent person and paid the price. I’m glad that he speaks to high school students but these student even adults still don’t listen and still drink and drive
5th conviction. What the hell. Why did he not get serious time the 1st time
Probably got a slap on the hand. Should have had his license taking away after the third time. And people like him should get a life sentence for person they kill when they drink and drive
It’s been 30 years since this happened so Patricia is 65 now or almost 66 depending on what month her birthday is. This happened on a Tuesday and Elijah Wood's 11th birthday, Joey Fatone of *NSYNC's 15th birthday, and Backstreet Boys Nick Carter's 12th birthday. It also happened the day before my 9 1/2 birthday. Paul was sentenced to 7-15 years in prison and was bailed out in 2017. His license was revoked permanently. That's what happens when someone drinks and drives. I'm sure Patricia can never say "Thank you" enough to those who saved her life and probably said that to them.
Patricia had to attend the funeral of the guy that died. She must had really hated Paul after that.
Still when im really drunk I know what not to do.
I always tell myself its okay to give up my keys. I learned from a very early age that this is one thing I would not want to live with.
I wonder how all of them are doing today? That includes the drunk driver Paul. I know that he's been released from prison.
Someone in the parking lot at the post office almost backed into us today. Wasn't even looking or paying attention. Think he'd been drinking, scared me so much I almost peed my pants.
Ya that's sad. Drinking and driving 1st mistake 2nd to the post office afterwards. That's mind-boggling why would a drunk person be at a post office? 3rd well #3 is just an observation but I'd assume this was during the day of course. You shouldn't be driving drunk regardless of what time it is however doing so when the post office would be open if you didn't think it wasn't a problem initially you should now
Does the drunk driver still do speak out? He would have been out of jail by 2007.
Yes I believe so
I hope he is doing well and getting on with his life. He will have to get rides from friends or travel by 🚕 now because he can never drive again.
itsalleternal But he is still prohibited to drive. They’ll never let him back on the road ever again!
@@AFGSANFORD2 I've heard of some states that have issued licenses to those who've had them revoked in others if there's no warrants or outstanding tickets that haven't been paid
In my state of NJ, if you’re caught with a DUI a second time, you’ll be fined a huge sum, given a prison sentence and your license is revoked for 10 years. Once it’s up, you have to drive with a interlock device in your vehicle for six months. Anything after that, you can’t drive ever again.
This kind of episode kids should watch right before prom

@@MsSilenthorse the point is kids should know the consequences of what happens when you get careless while drinking
It so sad and the thing that i like is that the man said sorry for everything that he done!😢
It's very rare to see someone who has killed others show actual genuine remorse for what they have done and I do genuinely hope that this guy has made good changes in his life.
That being said in most cases like this I'd say the best course of action against a drunk driver who murders others would be for the state to put them to death because what they've done is really no different then when someone walks into a 7/11 murders the clerk and takes the cash from the till.
yes but they didnt come with the intent to kill the person. They didnt say i am going to get drunk and kill someone.
seahawks nation
Murder is murder just the same.
Put a few drunk drivers who committed murder on death row and you'll see the dui numbers plummet.
Hammerhead547 actually murder is when you make a decision to kill someone and you plan it out. A drunk person does not say "I'm gonna go kill someone today." Driving drunk is the decision they made and they choice they made. Killing someone because of that is a sad consequence to that choice. I don't think people should drive drunk but if they do decide to do that and end up killing someone that's not murder.
Life With Leah there are different degrees of murder. 1st degree murder is planned...2nd degree murder (manslaughter) is not
I agree with you. I think he was sincerely sorry for what took place.
Drinking and driving don't mix, though, and sadly Paul learned this the hard way.
He even said "You better be aware." as in: "What happened to me might happen to you."
As much as he destroyed one life and permanently crippled another, he did have courage to partially narrate this and admit all responsibility for it when most usually would never do that. Nice classic 1978 or 1979 Ford used here (I had one and it weighed 4800 pounds so the small pickup was no match when they hit) It appears the engine in the small truck was torn off it's motor mounts and was driven right into the cab of the small truck.
Unfortunately, 11,000 were killed by drunk drivers (the most recent stats are from 2020) last year. The scene at 6:20 is so chilling. You're alive on a nice night and then you're not and this was entirely preventable.
We cant control drunks, but seatbelts are HUGE
Yah David likely would've been saved and Patricia not so seriously injured had they been wearing them. Why isn't that being brought up more?
This is what drunk drivers get. You drink, you drive, you lose!
Everyone loses when someone does that
@@CassxowaryPatricia lost her ability to walk like she used to, and her friend David. Paul lost his license permanently

Loved this show as a kid I feel really old lol
It's really sad and senseless when collisions like this occur because they are completely preventable. The man who caused this collision looked like he was getting up there in age. I think that when someone lives long enough to get gray hair they should have gained some wisdom. I can understand this lady's anger with this man. It sounds like the man who caused this collision didn't learn from his mistakes since he had 4 prior convictions. I think that the state did the right thing permanently revoking this man's license. I think that the lady he injured has a strong heart. I don't know that I could be as forgiving in a situation like this
Thanks. Been looking for this episode for ages!
Not a long enough sentence.
Im so glad he got this jail, knowing he's being punished must make it just a little emotionally better for her.

Obviously the driver is at fault but David and Patricia also should’ve been wearing their seatbelts.
Especially my 7th favorite country music singers Which is Keith Whitley lost his life on May 9th 1989 after he sustained a blood alcohol level of 0.47 . If he was driving with that much alcohol in his body he would have been arrested and his wife would have been telling him to go to rehab and cut his alcohol addiction out.
What bugs me about this is that drunk driving can be completely eliminated. In some places people who have reapet DUI convinctions have a system installed in their car by court order. I have no clue what this system is called but it is a breathalizer that is wired into the car's ignition system. Before you are able to drive, you have the blow through the breathalizer, if you have had any alcoholic beverage, the system prevents the car from starting so you cannot drive it. If thses systems were standard in all cars, drunk driving would be eliminated, problem is as usual is money, Car companies will not put the money into installing these systems in their cars so people die needlessly. when they do not need to.
That's likely because they care more about the green than their customers. Not only that, but not every one drinks and drives. Installing it in car of a person who doesn't drink and drive is a pain in the ass and they would prefer the customer be happy.
That wouldn't do anything.. People would just find a way to remove the breathalizer system or neutralize it so they can still drive.
You sound like a sappy, emotional, impractical twat. I don't drink, much less drive drunk, why the hell should I have to blow in a fucking tube to start my car? Or keep it running for that matter? It's not the 'greedy car companies', it's people not wanting to have their car shut off every 5 miles to retest. Imagine getting attacked and you try to make a get away but the car won't start till you blow in a tube, meanwhile you get shot through the window. Or maybe you're out camping in an isolated area, had a couple brews with the boys, only for someone to have a cardiac arrest. His only hope is to get him closer so a real ambulance can take him, but the car won't start because it detects alcohol. So he dies waiting on ambulance that couldn't get there.
Great fucking idea, moron.
maxdecphoenix why would the car shut off every five miles? And yeah, “a couple of brews” is DRUNK DRIVING. Congrats, you’ve just proved their point. If you justify drunk driving in any way, you shouldn’t be driving. Period. There is no excuse.
maxdecphoenix fact is, you only see a problem with that because you want to excuse driving drunk. You said you don’t do it so there shouldn’t be any problem there (:
A Ford and a Chevy collide. This episode is a good lesson about drinking and driving!
We need more of these episodes and things like this they edify and teach valuable lessons!
Yes. And most importantly common sense too.
This is exactly why it is illegal to drink and drive you get in wrecks.
Drunk-driving is sinful,devilish & deadly,so it should be avoided at all costs
I hope people learn a lesson from this: Drinking and driving don’t mix. Have a sober driver take the wheel. If you’re at a party, serve alcohol in moderation, as well as non-alcoholic beverages, and plenty of food.
If you drink.. DON'T drive to the party to start with.

It's best to just drink at home. It's safer and you don't have to worry about getting possibly a DUI or worse getting killed or killing someone else. Always, have a plan.when you go and decide to drink. Taxi or DD!!
4 prior convictions that is the problem right there first time and life in prison that would solve this problem
God bless all of them for forgiving each other..... The driver did not intend to kill anyone. It was just a mistake for him to drink and drive... Lesson learned.. God bless the soul of the other driver who passed away...

That man who drank and drove took a life and harmed a woman seriously! He should have been sentenced with life in prison. If I was the lady who was hurt from the accident I wouldn't have forgiven him! That lady is a true saint.
this should be a lesson never drink and drive because you could have injured yourself or a neigh person. glad Paul reach out to the victim to see how she was doing.
she lived cause of all her "padding"! Was that too harsh? Glad she is alive and well. Just keep some "mad money" tucked away for a unplanned expenditure like a taxi/uber etc.
