If the other driver is found to have been over the limit, I hope he's charged with Second Degree MURDER! I dont think there is NO ONE on the North American Continent over the age of 14 who isn't aware that drinking and driving DONT MIX!!!
My condolences to the family and friends of the Firefighter/Paramedic... our jobs are hazardous enough without some idiot adding to the mix. May your pain go away quickly.....
