MONTEZUMA-CORTEZ High School photography students react in horror as Colorado State Trooper David Van Bibber shows them the remains of a car in which three people, including a baby, were killed Dec. 8, allegedly by a drunk driver.

Seventeen persons have reportedly died in auto accidents this year in Montezuma County and 75 percent of those were alcohol-related.
