Kristina Moley was just 19 years old, when she made the terrible mistake to trust her 21 year old friend Ryan Lacey to drive when he was drunk.
Kristina died in a one car crash last night, when the car she was riding in and Ryan was driving, slammed into a tree in North Tonawanda.
Ryan's BAC has not yet been released, and he's at ECMC being treated for his injuries. He'll probably face other charges in connected with the crash that killed Kristina.
Unfortunately, Kristina is the third teen to die in less than 24 hours in WNY. Two girls were killed early Tuesday morning when their car missed a curve and slammed into a utility pole. Amber Graf and Sarah Breslin were close friends who graduated from Clarence High School last year. In that crash, police say high speed is to blame, and it's not yet clear whether Graf had been drinking or using her cell phone at the time of the crash.
I'm deeply troubled and saddened by the loss of these three young lives, in what appears to be preventable crashes.
I know the pain their families are experiencing, and my heart and prayers go out to everyone.
Please don't drink and drive. Did you know that 3 people die each hour due to an alcohol-related crash? Remember that operating a motor vehicle is a privilege. Take care and drive responsibly, so no more lives are lost on our roads. This is why I fight...so no other family goes through this pain and heartache, and I will keep fighting until drunk driving no longer steals precious lives.
Thank you,
Deanna

This is a yet another tragic situation. I have lost several acquaintances due to drunk driving and I have the misforunte of knowing Ryan Lacey, through another friend. The family of Kristina Moley is so concerned about saving the life of Ryan by not seeing him go to prision but I can speak from first hand knowledge, HE DID NOT LEARN ANY LESSONS FROM THIS!! I am so furious to see he is still boozing it up most weekends with no consideration over the fact that this is what caused the death of his girlfriend. Her family is rooting for him, trying to help him and he has such little respect for them and what he did. I guarantee this will not be the last time we see "Ryan Lacey" in the paper. Too sad for words.
