This is truly tragic and a sad time for his family, friends and all that knew and loved him. It really underscores the mindless and senseless consequences of drinking and driving when it happens to someone you know and/or can relate to. This tragedy happens countless times all across the nation and I'm sure the world every day. The .08 BAC (the legal limit in most states) limit is still too high and the laws are woefully lenient. I know it can be a real fight around here to get these people prosecuted properly unless someone is hurt or killed. A local officer here was hit head on by a drunk while on his way to back up another officer and will be off work for at least a year and has already had to have two surgeries on his leg. The bad guy is out and about again and the most serious charge he faces out of that is for altering his temporary registration tag to extend the expiration date. We'll extend our prayers for the Benge family during this difficult time.
