A local Wayzata, Minnesota man was involved in a multiple death drunk driving incident. Mario Brenner (uncle of Kayla Brenner), age 63, a Driver's Education Instructor at Wayzata High School, is being charged with killing three adolescent boys. Brenner, who was driving home from the Red Rooster Lounge and Restaraunt, entered the neighborhood driving his 1986 Hoda Prelude. According to the police Brenner said that he did not see the kids playing in the street until right before he hit them. The boys were 8, 9, and 11 years old.
When word got out to the hospital, a unit was sent out to the site of the accident. The young boys were rushed to the emergency room. Unfortunately the were dead upon arrival. As a result of the accident, Brenner's blood alcohol level was tested. The results were a B.A.C. level of 1.56, almost twice the amount of the legal limit.
An interview was held with an EMT on site. She stated, "This event is one that will definitely have a major impact not only the young boys' families, but the neighborhood as a whole. Their loss is a great one, and it is sad that it was a result of a drunk driver.....People always believe that it is the young and naive underage drinkers that cause all of these accidents, but out of all of the accidents that I have seen throughout my time as an EMT, most of the time it is the older, mature adults that are behind the wheel....My heart goes out to the families."
Statistics to Remember:
According to DrunkDrivingStatistics.com;
-Of the 8,256 alcohol related traffic deaths recorded in 2004, 91% of the deaths were a result of drunk drivers ages 21+.
-68% of the 91% were in between the ages of 45-65.
Comments
Well this is a very traumatizing event indeed. It breaks my heart to hear that there were three little kids killed in the accident. It illustrates the dangers of alcohol in anyone's hands, which has been my point and AWKE's point the whole time. Alcohol is a dangerous weapon in the hands of a driver, it doesn't depend on age.
Oh and one other thing pertaining to the statistic. It is much easier for people over 21 to get alcohol, considering it is legal for them, so wouldn't that automatically raise the percentage? Just a thought. So what if it was legalized for 18 year olds, I bet you would see that percentage rise quite a bit.

First of all- this is a false accusation. I do not have an uncle named Mario, I have no relatives that even live in the state of Minnesota!
Second of all- I am shocked by this outlandish report coming from a high school kid who hosts parties for underage kids which is a big mistake!
Third of all- I request that you, Mike Vacanti, settle upon the fact that you killed my sister and that is why you are trying to attack my family in anyway possible, just to make yourself look better.
Please let people know that this is NOT true... since it is a lie!!
DO NOT BELIEVE THIS MESSAGE- IT IS A LIE!!

I don't understand how Ms. Brenner cannot believe this report. In his obituary released last night it even says, "he leaves his family with sad hearts, which include his only sister Cheryl, her husband Dale, and his neice Kayla who is a mother of one." Now seriously, how can you deny a report like this? I think Ms. Brenner needs to come clean and stop living a lie. I think she wants the bill to not be passed just because her uncle made a stupid mistake and she doesn't want anyone else to make that decision. She feels more people will be like her uncle just because the bill is passed. But I totally disagree. She can't base her judgement on one person's irresponsibility.
