A mayor crashed drunk after giving a speech on the dangers of drunk driving

Thousands of people they lose their life every year on routes and roads because of alcohol. And, despite the many awareness campaigns that circulate both on the media and on social networks, the effects are not positive.

It is that there are still many drivers who are not really aware of what dangerous driving under the influence of alcohol, both for them and for the occupants of the vehicle and other road users.

But helping drivers understand that they shouldn’t get behind the wheel under the influence of alcohol would be much easier if those who have to Give an examplelike the authorities, they were the ones who took the initiative.

Unfortunately, this is often not the case, as the Mayor of Redlands has demonstrated Australia, Karen Williams.

worst example

Just one hour after joining aa match with families who had lost loved ones in drunk driving accidents, Mayor Williams crashed his car while admitting it had drunk “several glasses of wine”.

During the speech, the mayor of the Australian city of 160,000 said phrases such as: “We have to clean our streets of drunk driving.”

This fact – unfortunate, by the way – surprised and disappointed the group of family members affected by drunk driving accidents.

After the incident, Williams took to the media to apologize and admit he made a mistake, but also to clarify it. he would not have submitted his resignation.

“I will learn from this mistake and I will continue to serve my communityas I have done for the past 18 years. “he assured, closing the question.

However, the apology wasn’t enough to silence the rumors that came out to address her by stating this not suitable for holding offices public.

Specifically, he asked Mayor Judy Lindsay, who was in charge of organizing the meeting on the same day resign from his responsibilities.

“We trusted you and you let us down … You should be helping us raise awareness and you let us all down. You’re lucky you didn’t kill someone.”Lindsay kept it.

Meanwhile, the police have opened an investigationEven if no one has filed a complaint yet. This fact could change everything as the investigation proceeds.

It will be at that moment, therefore, when we see what happens with Williams and if it will keep – or not – its position in the mayor’s office
