He was working the graveyard shift and was driving home,which was an hours drive, and just fell asleep and rolled his truck over in a ditch.The last and most dangerous act of careless driving would be drinking and drivingin my book.

You lose all of your inhibitions when your drunk.The most usual outcome of a drinking and driving accident, is that the person under theinfluence of alcohol usually survives. Nine times out of ten, all drunk driving accidents endin death.I know for a fact that people these days have heard the stories about drinking anddriving, using the cell phone while driving and falling asleep at the wheel, but as manytimes as we are informed about these dangerous habits there are accidents occurringeveryday. To me it seems that people rather take a chance and risk their life at the sametime. I really don't know what its going to take to get through to people.
