The car that carried four people who died after a DUI driver crashed into them last November is on display at the Evergreen State Fair.
Brad and Melissa Agerup and Thomas and Hilda Woods were killed when their car was broadsided on Highway 9 in North Marysville. Prosecutors say the man who crashed his SUV into their sedan drank eight beers before the accident. He was later sentenced to eight years in prison.
In a press release, Snohomish County officials say the car could act as an important deterrent:
"This collision was completely avoidable, and yet we still have grieving families in a community that will be changed forever," said Snohomish County Executive Aaron Reardon, who had known Brad Agerup for more than 25 years. "I'm grateful to the families for allowing this vehicle to be viewed by the general public. I pray it deters others from making similar mistakes."
"Although this is a graphic display, it is a reality check to what happens when someone chooses to drive under the influence," said Tracy McMillan, Snohomish County's DUI & Target Zero Task Force Manager. "It should be a 100 percent deterrent."
