Galveston: One killed in car-horse carriage crash

[MoJo]

Let's ban drunk driving!

I'll bet no one ever thought of that.

We need a one-drink-a-month law. Nobody needs to drink 15 beers in one evening.

Boy ain't that the truth!

I am the mom of the carriage driver, thanks for all the prayers and support. I have set up a benefit fund for him on Facebook, check out http://www.facebook.com/JoeHodsdonBenefitFund

All questions may be directed to Wells Fargo contact Leslie Jones, 281-980-8881.

Also a benefit will be held on Thursday, August 23rd, 5:30-7pm at Home Theater Evolutions 3157 Highway 6. Sugar Land, TX 77478.

This incident is a sad reminder of how one night of drunken stupidity can end lives or alter them forever. No amount of money can repair this kind of damage.

Lawsuits either have not been settled or settled with agreements not to discuss them publicly.
