BISMARCK - The North Dakota
Department of Transportation
(NDDOT) recently worked in part-
nership with Arleneand Tom
Deutscher.of Bismarck to bring
awareness to the deadly consequences
of drinking and driving.
The Bismarck family's message is
under way through a multi-faceted
safety campaign utilizing television,
radio, social media and billboards
across the state. In the safety message,
Tom and Arlene Deutscher discuss
how a tragic crash affected them on
July 6, 2012, when their son, Aaron
Deutscher, his wife Allison, their 18-
month-old daughter Brielle and their
unborn baby, were on their way from
West Fargo to a family gathering in
Bismarck. A drunk driver, traveling
the wrong way on Interstate 94, col-
lided head-on with their vehicle.
Everyone was instantly killed.
In the television public service an-
nouncement, Tom Deutscher relays
how they went from planning a fam-
ily reunion to planning a family fu-
neral. Arlene Deutscher relays the
experience of losing an entire branch
of her family tree. Tom Deutscher is
originally from Scranton, while Ar-
lene Deutscher is a native of Belfield.
"With too many tragedies such as
this happening in our state, the
NDDOT along with the Deutschers
have teamed up to launch a new cam-
paign to encourage people not to
drink and drive," Mark Nelson,
NDDOT Safety Division director,
said in prepared statement. "In 2012,
nearly 52 percent of fatalities could
have been prevented if Hey had made
the decision not to drive after drink-
ing alcohol."

"The Deutschers have made a bold
choice to take their tragedy and turn it
into an opportunity to save lives," said
Nelson. "The overall message we
want to get across with the Deutscher
campaign is that it's not worth it.
Don't drive drunk. It's that simple.
just don't do it."
Friends of the deceased West
Fargo family in recent months have
been organizing an awareness cam-
palgn now known as Run4Change.
On April 6. in an effort to accom-
plish a goal of bringing something
positive out of the tragedy and to help
change society's attitudes about drink-
ing ~ind driving, a Run4Change gath-
ering at Scheel's Arena. Farg9, will
feature 10K, 5K.and 1/2K events with
all proceeds going to the Fargo-Moor-
head Safe Communities Coalition.
Organizers say the event will have an
upbeat atmosphere with lixe music
and kids' activities so families can
come together with their community.
While family was the main priority
in the lives of Aaron and Allison
Deutscher. they were avid sports en-
thusiasts and being healthy and active
was also important to them, organiz-
ers of Run4Change say. Allison en-
