Mother to tell how drunk driver hurt daughter, family

Some 160 teenagers attending a Mothers Against Drunk Driving workshop at Bryant University will hear this morning from the mother of a West Warwick teenager critically injured by a drunk driver.

The teens’ parents, too, are invited to Cathy Andreozzi’s talk, when she is expected to dispel the notion of “It won’t happen to me,” according to MADD.

Andreozzi will talk about the ongoing medical challenges her daughter, Tori, faces and the ripple effect that a drunk-driving crash has on someone’s family.

Tori Andreozzi was walking home from Deering Middle School in West Warwick in March 2003 when driver Marilyn D. Brownell struck her while driving drunk. Brownell was later sentenced to serve 10 years in prison.
