EUGENE, Ore. -- Dozens of candles shed light on the impact of drunk driving in Lane County and around the country Tuesday night.  The group, Mothers Against Drunk Driving, gathered at the Lane County memorial garden near Autzen Stadium in Eugene.

A powerful message.  Dozens of candles, lit to voice a quiet reminder.  Drunk driving hurts everyone.  Communities, parents, sons and daughters, neighbors... the list goes on.

Click on the video to your left and watch as your friends and neighbors remember those they have lost to drunk driving.
