Up Close: Keeping roads safe from drunk drivers

Two separate crashes that killed seven people on Long Island this month are once again raising some disturbing questions about how to keep drunk drivers off the roads.

Last weekend, a group of young women was touring the wineries on the east end of Long Island, and because they knew they would be drinking, they hired a limo.

But that limo was making a U-turn on a highway when it collided with a pickup truck. Four of those women died in the accident. Four other women and the driver were hurt. The driver of the pickup truck is now charged with drunk driving.

Six days earlier, on the Southern State Parkway in Bay Shore, prosecutors said a drunk driver slammed into another car, setting that car on fire. A father and two young children were killed.

National President of Mothers Against Drunk Driving, Colleen Sheehey-Church and the group's New York State Executive Director Rich Mallow spoke about the recent tragedies and the problems with keep roads safe from people who drink and drive.
