Driving while drunk case inspires a survivor’s warning
Ida Hurst, maimed when another driver drank and caused a collision, recalls a long road to recovery. The March 1983 case ended with a $185 fine for the driver, judged as an accident, prompting Hurst to urge high school and adult audiences to consider the real dangers of drunk driving. She lost her father six days after the accident and now shares her story from her home in Aiken.
