Twisted metal. The quadriplegic. Innocent victim. Jail sentence and remorse. You wouldn’t necessarily order one of these drinks the next time you go out for the evening, but you could very well end up with one, “For Life.” The Governor’s Council on Impaired and Dangerous Driving, along with the Nappanee Police Department, are teaming up for Operation Pullover Blitz 23, “Recipe for Disaster.” All it takes is one part person, one part alcohol—mix these irresponsible ingredients in an automobile and you have a recipe for disaster.

Dana Hollar, of the Nappanee Police Department. “In 1998, impaired drivers were responsible for 206 fatal crashes in Indiana. Thus, there were 131 male drivers between the ages of Ambulance Calls May 1, 11:18a.m.—Richard Pede, 508 E. Vanßuren, from home to Elkhart General Hospital, due to chest pain.
