13-year-old Killed in DUI

Jesse Purser, a 13-year-old girl, was killed in a DUI in Rock Hill, South Carolina. Lewisville Middle School, the school she attended, will have a balloon vigil for her as she was well-loved around the school. Jesse was riding in a truck when the driver lost control and crashed into a lawnmower. Jessie was thrown from the truck and died. Troopers say 19-year-old Christopher Mullis was driving on Homestead Road near Rock Hill around 8:30 p.m. Saturday. They say Mullis ran off the road, and his truck hit Christopher Kernaghan, killing him. Kernaghan’s wife says her son, who was also on the lawnmower, is in the intensive care unit with serious injuries. She says her husband was the only one who worked in their home, and they need help caring for their four children. Mullis is currently in jail facing felony DUI charges.

No one should ever go through the pain of losing someone because of a DUI. Along with Jesse’s school, we are wishing well for her family as they go through this time of grief. We hope this never happens to you, but if it were to happen  A-1 Driving Schools has a great DUI school to help you through this tough time.
