I feel sorry for this poor girl and her family.

I agree. There is no such thing as closure, but at the very least the driver was caught and will be punished for his crime. I hear he is on suicide watch.

Cautionary tale... don't drink and drive.

How horribly sad. One life ended. Another ruined utterly. How can you recover from that? He will be forever haunted.

Ananda Girl: It's a lose lose situation for everyone involved in this sorry case.

She was one of the more memorable comic reliefers on the show.

My heart goes out to her family. It's been 21 years and 8 days since my brother and his fiance were killed by a drunk driver. My would-have-been sister-in-law's sister was killed 7 years earlier as a passenger in a vehicle driven by a drunk driver. It leaves a hole that never fully mends. Please people, don't drink and drive.

DaBlade: I'm sorry to hear about your loss.

It may a simplistic answer, but I don't understand why people who want to drink don't just stay home. Drink your selves into oblivion. I don't care. Just don't drive.
