Prison Break star Lane Garrison - Lives Ruined by Drunk Driving

Prison Break actor Lane Garrison was charged with vehicular manslaughter in the December death of 17-year-old boy. On Dec. 2, the actor was driving his Land Rover SUV with three teenage passengers when the vehicle struck a tree, killing passenger Vahagn Setian. There were also two 15-year-old girls in the car - one is recuperating at home with a fractured pelvis and shattered arm and the other was not seriously injured. In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE magazine, Garrison said, "I pray every day for all the families involved," and "I realize I will live with a sense of guilt for the rest of my life."

Police later said Garrison had more than twice the legal blood-alcohol level at the time of the crash.

Garrison recoded a powerful and graphic public service announcement with the hopes of preventing people from driving drunk. The PSA includes realistic footage of a drunk driving accident and clips of Garrison's emotional plea.

Garrison's message is:
"Just don't drink and drive, it's not worth it, it's just not worth it."


Many drunk driving accidents are a result of binge drinking.


SAVE A LIFE. THINK BEFORE YOU DRINK.
