When you drink and drive, you play
a deadly game with not only your own life, but also the lives of everyone
around you. New Yorker Patrick Waverly, 53, unfortunately found that out the
hard way. Patrick, with a BAC of 0.18 percent, decided to get in his car and
drive. He struck 16 year old, Keyairra Price as she was walking on her way to
her best friend’s house for a sleepover. Price’s body was thrown onto the
sidewalk as Waverly drove off, fleeing the scene. Price was transported to
nearby Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx, where she tragically passed away.
Yonkers police
tracked down Waverly’s SUV to a local apartment complex where he was arrested.
The damage to his car as well as skin samples taken from the bumper linked him
to the deadly crash. He pleaded guilty in January to vehicular manslaughter,
leaving the scene of an incident without reporting, and aggravated driving
while intoxicated, and was sentenced to 2-6 years in prison.
