A few nights before Miguel’s first day of college. A night of drinking and having fun with his friends led him to make an unconscious decision. He attempted to drive himself home, but before he could reach his destination, he crashed into a side railing off of the 5 freeway that led to his car being catapulted down into a ditch that left him with the inability to walk. He was only 18 years old.
