UPPER SANDUSKY, Ohio — An Ohio man was killed on his wedding day when a pickup truck carrying him, his new wife and friends crashed.Friends and family were mourning the deaths Andrew Bloomfield, 27, of Galion, and his 26-year-old friend Elizabeth Shelton, who were killed Sunday in northern Ohio's Wyandot County when the truck's driver lost control, authorities said.[...]Wyandot County Sheriff Michael R. Hetzel said Tuesday that alcohol likely was a factor in the crash, based on statements of people who were at the wedding reception, but that hasn't been determined for sure.Hetzel said the four had gone to Tebbe's house and were returning to the wedding reception at a private barn. The truck drove off the left side of the road and struck an embankment and a utility pole before rolling several times and coming to rest in a cornfield, the sheriff's office said. Investigators don't believe anyone was wearing a seat belt.
If someone dies because they were drunk driving, I really would struggle to feel anything other than good riddance. But those scumbags never seem to just wipe themselves out, they always hit somebody else while they are at it.

But those scumbags never seem to just wipe themselves out, they always hit somebody else while they are at it.Too true. An elementary school friend of mine was paralyzed from the neck-down in 2nd grade when his mom's car was t-boned by a drunk driver. Driver was fine. Fucker.
Everything is in perspective. For the Drunk Drivers, they must've had some struggle that ended up with them going down that path. While I understand blaming them for their poor choices, it solves nothing, whatever is lost will remain lost. I try to think what was it like for that person that ended up causing this accident? What went wrong, what stumbles led them down this path, and how they could've avoided it or have been helped. The victim's story shouldn't be the only one that's sad, because the story of the person that spiraled down, couldn't take control of their life, and ended up hurting others isn't any better.
You've never driven a little drunk?
