Story Time!Jackie Saburido

What you are about to see is true.

Every year in Texas more than 1,000 people are killed in alcohol-related traffic crashes.

But not everyone who gets hit by a drunk driver dies.

“Jacqui’s Story”An amazing journey of courage, determination and devotion

In 1999, 20 year old Jacqueline Saburido left her family and friends in Venezuela to come to Austin, Texas.

She traded flamenco dancing and jet skiing for an adventure in a new country and the chance to learn English.

Reggie Stephey was a senior at Lake Travis High School near Austin.

He played baseball and football.

College was in his future.

One of his prized possessions was the SUV he had customized.

Early one Sunday morningin the fall of 1999,

Jacqui’s and Reggie’s paths crossed.

In a split second,their lives would be changed forever.

Austin Police Department

Just a few hours earlier,Jacqui had been at a birthdayparty with some of her new friends.

It was late when they left the birthday party.

Neither she nor the driver had been drinking.

That same Saturday, Reggie met some friends after work and had a few beers.

Later, he went to a party and drank some more, even though it is illegal for anyone

under 21 to buy or possess alcohol in Texas.

At the same time Jacqui was on her way home, Reggie was driving home, too.

But he was drunk.

On a four-lane road just outside of Austin, Reggie’s SUV crossed the centerline and hit the car Jacqui was riding in, head-on.


Two of Jacqui’s friends died instantly. Jacqui’s legs were pinned under the dashboard. Trapped, Jacqui begged for help, but rescuers could notget her out.


A fire started in the engine and spread to the inside of the car.

Engulfed in flames, she screamed for 45 seconds.


Then there was silence.


Other than a few bruises, Reggie was OK except for one thing.

A blood test showed he had been drinking. Police officers arrested Reggie and

took him to jail.

Jacqui was barely alive when she arrived

at the hospital. She was burned over most

of her body.

Her hair was gone.

Her eyes were scorched.

So were her nose and her ears.

She was almost completely blind.

Fingers on both of her hands had to be amputated.

The pain was indescribable and constant.Jacqui spent months in the hospital.


Reggie Stephey was tried and convicted for causing the deaths of two people while he was driving drunk. He is now in the state penitentiary, serving two

concurrent 7-year sentences for intoxication manslaughter.

Texas Department of Corrections

Reggie never thought this could happen to him.He will be 28 years old when he is released from prison.

The damage he did, he says, is “a pain that will never go away.”


Four years later, Jacqui’s recovery continues. She has had more than50 operations so far and has many more to go. To get the

medical care she needs, she must live inthe United States—far away from family and friends.

Once fiercely independent, Jacqui has come to rely on her father, Amadeo, to take care of her.


Amadeo left his business in Caracas to take careof his only child. He has not left her side since the crash.

Jacqui and Amadeo live in Louisville, Kentucky so she can be close to her doctors. She faces years of more surgery and medical treatment.

Determined to do what she came to the United States for in the first place, Jacqui recently completed language classes at the University of Louisville. She is now able to speak and write English.

In May, 2003, after many, many operations to replace her left eyelid that was completely destroyed in the fire, Jacqui was able to have a cornea transplant. The operation was a success, and some of her vision has now been restored.

Jacqui doesn’t want anyone else to have to endure the suffering that she has experienced.


In 2002, she appeared in a TV commercial produced by the Texas Department of Transportation to remind people not to drink and drive.

More than 300 million people throughout the world have seen it.

A poster with her photograph shows high school and college students and others what can happen as a result of drunk driving.

Ads with Jacqui’s picture have appeared in newspapers and magazines in the United States, Canada and Great Britain.

Police departments, schools, organizations and many others have begun using the educationalmaterials in which she is featured.

When she is physically able, Jacquispeaks out against drunk driving.

Jacqui’s incredible story

of courage and determination

has touched millions of people

throughout the world.

Thousands of people

have written her letters

or sent emails.

Many people who hear Jacqui’s story want to do something.

A fund has been established to help defray the

staggering costs of her medical treatment.
