Here she comes with a warning about drunk driving

Miss America spreads the word in Middleton

by Jim Dick (WIBA contributes)

Here she comes. Miss America 2006 stops in Wisconsin trying to raise awareness about the dangers of drunk driving.

Jennifer Berry didn't just develop an anti-drunk driving message for the Miss America pageant. When she was 15 a 16-year old friend was killed by a drunk driver.

And so, at the age of seventeen, Berry teamed up with Mothers Against Drunk Driving in her home state of Oklahoma to spread the word. She says there are still 17-thousand people killed by drunk driving every year in this country.

And when Jennifer became Miss America it gave her a national stage to get people thinking and doing something about the problem.

Miss America did just that Thursday at the Governor's Conference on Highway Safety in Middleton.
