Fatal I-90/94 Crash: OWI Driver Arrested for Homicide

It's a nightmare scenario that plays out all too often on our highways: a drunk driver causes a deadly crash. And that's exactly what happened this past weekend on the I-90/94 freeway, leaving one person dead and a community reeling.

The crash happened early Saturday morning near the Milwaukee Street exit. Police say a car driven by 32-year-old John Smith was traveling at a high rate of speed when it rear-ended a stopped vehicle. The impact was so violent that the driver of the stopped car, 45-year-old Mary Jones, was killed instantly.

Smith, who was clearly intoxicated, was arrested at the scene and charged with homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle. He's also facing charges of operating a vehicle while intoxicated (OWI) and reckless driving causing death.

This tragedy is a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of driving under the influence. It's a crime that not only endangers the driver but also anyone else on the road.

Here's the thing: It's not worth it. If you're going to be drinking, make sure you have a designated driver or call a ride-sharing service. It's a small inconvenience compared to the potential loss of life.

This horrific incident should serve as a wake-up call for all of us. It's our responsibility to make sure that we don't put ourselves or others at risk by driving under the influence. Let's make the roads safer for everyone.

Please, never drink and drive. It's not worth it.
