Why We Walk...Shelly Martinez

Shelly Martinez a co-host on a WCTY radio morning show, had a near death experience after a drunk driver crashed into her. She survived with a new purpose - to share her ordeal to try to keep people from driving under the influence. Shelly was a passenger in a truck on May 11, 2007, on Route 2 near the Preston and Norwich town lines, when a drunken driver who was trying to pass them clipped the left side of their vehicle. The impact sent their truck out or control and it rolled over about five times. She still suffers from chronic and permanent pain from her elbows down. Since the crash, Shelly has dedicated her life to speaking to others. "Many people die in alcohol-related crashes. I am blessed to have lived. I want to save lives. I feel I am supposed to make a difference."
