Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and DaimlerChrysler have teamed up to produce "After the Crash," a national, traveling photo exhibition that provides a glimpse into the lives of 10 families changed forever by underage drinking and driving. The exhibit will be on display at the Opry Mills Mall in Nashville to educate teens and their parents about a tragic consequence of underage drinking -- devastating motor vehicle crashes -- as well as the ongoing and critical need for victim support.

In 2004, nearly 2,000 people were killed and countless others were injured in alcohol-related traffic crashes involving an underage drinking driver. In Tennessee in 2005, there were 32 fatal car crashes involving an underage drinking driver. Nationwide, traffic crashes are the number one killer of teens, and nearly one-third of teen traffic deaths are alcohol-related.
