MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA –The accident resulted in one of the cars hitting a tree. Montgomery Police spokeswoman Sgt. Barnes confirmed that two people were killed.<\/p>\n
“The circumstances surrounding the accident are unknown at this time. Identities of the victims are not available for release,” Barnes said.<\/p>\n
Montgomery County DA Daryl Bailey was at the scene of the crash Thursday, calling it a DUI Homicide investigation. He tells WSFA 12 News that an alleged drunk driver hit and killed two people in another car.<\/p>\n
“A family on their way to celebrate Thanksgiving and now are planning a funeral. Please be careful on the roadway and never allow someone to drive drunk,” he said in a statement. “It’s good for people to have fun with family and friends, but remember, if you have anything to drink, you shouldn’t drive. Driving drunk is a crime. It can be a serious crime. It can cost your life and the life of others. Anyone caught driving drunk will be charged with the crime of murder which carries 10 years to life . A DUI is as bad as any violent crime. You’re using a car and alcohol instead of a gun.\u201d<\/p>\n
