TL:DR
Yo, for real? Some 19-year-old allegedly driving under the influence in Etobicoke turned a family's world upside down, RIP to three kids. MADD Canada is big mad, saying we need to do better with prevention and enforcement. A GoFundMe's poppin' off to support the fam. Like, bruh, just don't drink and drive. It's not that hard.
The Real Deal
Okay, fam, listen up. This is heavy. Straight up tragedy in Toronto. Some young blood, only 19, allegedly decided to get behind the wheel after partaking in some drank and crashed in Etobicoke. Now, three kids are gone โ two, ages 13 and 15, passed at the scene, and a 6-year-old later died in the hospital. Their mom and 10-year-old sibling are still fighting the good fight in the hospital. The mom's partner, too, was involved. This ain't it, chief.
MADD Canada is fuming, and honestly, who isn't? They're saying this "lifetime of devastation" is straight-up avoidable. They're out here calling for way stronger rules and more action to stop impaired driving. Like, duh! They're stressing that a lot of people, especially young dudes, think they can get away with driving messed up. But, like, that's sus. As Dr. Donald Redelmeier said, people think they can get away with it, cause they have done it before. He noted that at least one-third of serious car crashes involve alcohol.
There's a GoFundMe going viral to help the family with funeral costs and medical bills. People are really stepping up, almost hitting $150,000! But money can't bring back those kids, ya know?
MADD is pushing Canadian lawmakers to peep what's happening in the U.S. and require in-car tech that can stop impaired driving in new whips. They want us to be more aware of the risks and have the breath testing ratcheted up.
And it's not just Toronto. They're bringing up that mess in Nova Scotia where five people died โ again, possibly because of a drunk driver. It's like, wake up, people! The laws of statistics will catch up to those who continue driving impaired.
The easiest way to prevent those tragedies: plan ahead! Get a ride, call a ride, do anything but get behind the wheel if you've been drinking. And if you see someone about to drive zooted, call 911. Seriously, be a real one and do the right thing.
