After losing their mom to a suspected drunk driver, three sisters from Florida want to raise awareness for the devastation that can come along with such a poor decision.
Their mom, Claudia Alderman, was killed after a 21-year-old hit into her. The devastating moment is reminiscent of the Colorado State Trooper who was killed in the same manner, leaving her infant daughter without a mother.
Now, Alderman's daughters can't help but count down every single day without their mother, who raised all three of them on her own. They also see Alderman's name written on a sign that reads "Drive Safely." It stands on the side of the road where the fatal accident occurred.
"When that happened, he ruined two families' lives by just one bad choice," daughter Crystal Alderman told Tampa's ABC Action News.
Her daughters – Toni, Stacey, and Crystal – want to encourage others to think twice before drinking and driving. These types of accidents claim the lives of about 30 people every single day in the United States, according to statistics from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The risk increases greatly during the holidays, as you'll see in the video below.
"You could be on the other end like we were, and that driver is still alive, but our mother is not," Crystal also said.
