The group had left a party together and were traveling south on Wilkinson Road. After passing another car, Souza lost control of the 2003 Chevy Malibu and the car struck a tree and burst into flames. The State Patrol said speed and alcohol were factors in the accident.Two people in a passing car pulled Souza from the wreck but could not save the three passengers.Souza, a 2011 graduate of Bayview School and a Langley resident, was taken to Whidbey General Hospital for treatment after Saturday’s accident and was later booked into the Island County jail.According to documents filed in the case, Souza told a State Trooper in the emergency room at Whidbey General Hospital after the crash that she had consumed a 40-ounce container of Mickey’s beer earlier.She said she also drank Olde English, another brand of malt liquor, the night of the accident.The officer said Souza’s eyes were watery and bloodshot, and he could smell intoxicants on her breath.The Langley officer also said Souza said, "I wasn't that drunk" and later yelled out, "I can't believe they let me drive."Kaylea F. Souza, 18, was arrested just after 1:30 a.m. Saturday. An Island County judge ordered her held on $150,000 bail Saturday pending charges from the accident.                                                                Source:  http://www.southwhidbeyrecord.com/news/133919523.html

The weight of this process is heavy but we are pushing toward 500 signatures to prove that this restitution must be taken seriously. Please get this in front of others because we need that breakthrough before the momentum fades.

Seeing one hundred people sign onto this has been a heavy experience. I am exhausted by the grief that led us here but I appreciate you staying with me in this fight.

Absolutely. Maybe hearing her own voice tell the story will finally make it sink in for her. Terrible tragedy.

Yes. Actions have consequences and this is the bare minimum. Stop the madness.

This is exactly what needs to happen. She needs to face the reality of what she did every single day.

My heart breaks for those families. She should have to look at the people she hurt and explain why she got behind that wheel.

Drunk driving ruins everything. Kids need to hear this from someone who actually lived through it. Hope this goes through.
