On August 29th, 2015, my uncle, Patrick Haden and his wife, Alexis, were heading home when a drunk driver failed to yield at a stop sign - barreling onto the highway and hitting the driver's side of Patrick's truck with such force that the vehicle rolled twice. Over the next 7 weeks Patrick would vehemently fight for his life, battling organ failure, multiple surgeries, skin grafts, blood transfusions, and more. Ultimately he would not make it. What is most horrifying about Patrick's story is that his killer had not 1, but 3 previous DWI's - 2 of them convictions and another he was awaiting a court date for. Although the drunk driver violated the terms of his bail by failing to drive with an interlock system, he was allowed to bail out again less than 48 hours later, with no added restrictions to driving. As our family mourns, we must also reconcile the fact that his killer is still allowed to drive. Even more alarming is that this is not an isolated incident. Repeat offenders are routinely allowed behind the wheel again without an effective form of rehabilitation. Alcohol-impaired crashes account for nearly 1/3 of all traffic-related deaths in the United States. Drivers with more than one DWI should be required to wear an ankle monitor and complete an effective rehabilitation process before they get their license back. Please join us in asking Texas to revolutionize the way we handle drunk driving.
