For 18 years the Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital in Malvern, Pa. has been talking to teens about the dangers of impaired driving through their Cruisin' Not Boozin' program.  The program features former Bryn Mawr patients telling students their personal stories about surviving serious auto crashes in which alcohol or drugs were a factor. 

We spoke with Michael Vozzelli, a speaker with the Cruisin' Not Boozin' program, about his story, how his crash impacted his life and why he speaks to thousands of students every year.
