Almost 40 people die in a drunk driving crash every single day. An Orland Park family knows that statistic well. The 33rd anniversary of the day their mother was killed by a drunk driver is next month. CBS 2's Lauren Victory shared a message from the victim's five children ahead of Memorial Day weekend celebrations."It's a powerful story," Len said."A number of the drivers would come up to us and really thank us," he said.
More recently, some family members started participating in walks for MADD, Mothers Against Drunk Driving.All of Wlodarski children said the pain has lessened over the years, but it's still there. Decades of memories with their mother have been missed because of one bad decision.:"We know that accidents can happen, but how much more did it hurt to know that this was a drunk driver?"It's easier now than ever with rideshares.
