MADD Cannabis Report

AMANDA HILL

MADD DEDICATES THIS REPORT TO AMANDA, DENISE AND ED, THE ENTIRE HILL FAMILY, AND TO ALL THE VICTIMS OF THE 100 PERCENT PREVENTABLE CRIMES OF DRUNK AND DRUG-IMPAIRED DRIVING.

I n June 2018, Amanda Hill was hit head on by a driver high on marijuana. She was 24 years old. Amanda loved life and was very kind and compassionate. Amanda was a talented veterinary technician and loved working with exotic animals. She had a bright future ahead of her, having recently completed an internship at the Denver Zoo. At home, she had her own little zoo consisting of a chinchilla, hedgehog, parrot, bunny, sugar gliders and cats. Amanda’s mother, Denise, shared these thoughts. “Our family understands all too well the impact of drug-impaired driving.

Our beautiful daughter lost her life due to the injuries she sustained in that horrific crash. That one decision to drive impaired changed many lives that fateful day. She was a cherished daughter and loved sister, and has many friends and family that mourn her loss.” After working with MADD, Denise and Amanda’s father, Ed, have become powerful advocates for stricter laws surrounding marijuana use while operating a vehicle and participated in MADD Colorado’s drugged driving prevention campaigns in 2019 and 2020. We will be forever grateful to Denise, Ed, and the Hill family for dedicating their lives to saving others in memory of Amanda.
