It's the holiday season and Edinburg Police Chief Jaime Ayala wants to stress that if you drink, don't drive.
"The decision to drive impaired can shatter so many lives," Ayala said.
A Houston man is helping spread the message. Sean Carter survived an alcohol-related crash, but now he can't talk, without the help of a computer.
"Don't drink and drive, don't drive impaired, that's probably the biggest thing right now," Sean's mom, Jenny, said. "There is no excuse for driving impaired, you can find a ride."
So far this year, Edinburg police have arrested nearly 600 people for DWI.
