"Las Vegas mother's warning: 'Blackout Wednesday' and 'Drunksgiving' increase DUI fatalities"
Monique Prado's family mourns her tragic death on Thanksgiving four years ago, when she was killed by a drunk driver while driving with her daughter. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that from 2017 to 2021, 137 drivers involved in fatal crashes the day before Thanksgiving were under the influence of alcohol. In response to the increase in DUI fatalities, Lyft and Zero Fatalities have partnered to offer $5 off a Lyft ride with the code 'TurkeyWeekend' to encourage people to make responsible choices and not drink and drive.
