If you've driven on I-45 through Leon County in the last two weeks, you may have noticed a billboard that reads 'Tag, You're Dead.'
The Leon County Community Coalition recently put one up in Centerville, and a duplicate in Jewett. It targets underage drinking, but Coalition members are hoping it makes all drivers think twice before drinking and getting behind the wheel.
"Somebody reading that sign being so blunt about it maybe that they will change their, be more responsible in driving," said Executive Director with Leon County Community Action, Beverly Vandayburg.
Last year, there were sixty four hundred DUI crashes on I-45 between Galveston and Dallas. Two hundred seventy-two people died in those accidents.

I believe kids are going to see that thier community cares about them. The question is: Do adults care enough to make sure kids don't have access to alcohol?
