Yari Lee Law

The Issue

My sister Yahaira Lee Colon was killed by a drunk driver on the night of January 12,2020 on Waverly Road Andover MA. The driver was 4 times over the legal limit, he fled the scene right after the impact. When he was caught by a witness and held down until police came he denied that he was the one in the accident. He has not done any jail time yet. Yahaira was a mother of 4 children who are now separated because of this loss. Not a lot of DUI drivers who kill someone are served with jail time. It’s time that we the community demand a change. As Yahaira younger sister I want to prevent any families from this pain my family and I had endured. I am writing this because I want the law to change for drunk drivers who get behind the wheel intoxicated and for motor vehicle homicides caused by drivers who are under the influence. Did you guys know Massachusetts has one of the most highest percentages  in drunk driving fatalities in the nation. It is ranked number 6 and nothing is being done about it. Let’s get justice for my sister also for the families who have not received any justice for their family members who are killed by drivers under the influence.
