My great grandfather, a great uncle, and one of their friends, while driving to the lake for a fishing trip. They were hit by a drunk driver. All three died. My father was supposed to go with them, but had to back out of the trip at the last moment.
Once during the juror selection process (I was in the pool), the defense attorney asked for a show of hands of those who had been impacted by a drunk driving death. I was stunned that about half the crowd raised a hand.
The attorney then asked for a show of hands of those who thought their judgement would be affected by this, and only a few hands stayed up.
I lost two young cousins to a drunk driver. A third young cousin was horrifically and permanently disabled.
Class mate killed a friend of his while driving drunk. He’d left the friend asleep in the car while drinking, continued driving afterwards and both went through the windshield. He got jail time.
I don’t know personally anyone killed by a drunk driver, but my father was killed by an inattentive driver, who took his eyes off the road to put in a CD.
Two brothers who lived down the road from me as I was growing up both died in a single vehicle DUI crash. It was just the two of them in the car and I’m not sure which one was driving.
I played t-ball as a kid with the younger brother and knew his older brother reasonably well. They were the only two children their parents had and their deaths left their parents broken.
And I knew a young woman who was killed in a DUI crash. The drunk driver was driving a tractor trailer while still drunk from the previous night even at nearly 3pm. He had been out celebrating getting released from jail after serving a short sentence on a prior DUI conviction.
No. And come to think of it, I can only think of one person I knew, and even then not that well (co-worker), who was killed in a car accident. Is that atypical?

A childhood friend of mine, was killed by a drunk driver.
He got drunk at a party, raced off on his motorbike to go fetch some munchies, and drove off a bridge into the river.
Who do you think set me up with her? 
Two friends died this way.
