Deana's Law: Pennsylvania legislation targeting repeat DUI offenders signed into law
Deana Eckman, 45, was killed in February 2019 by a five-time drunk driver whose truck slammed head-on into the car that she was driving. HARRISBURG, Pa. - It has been more than three years since Deana DeRosa Eckman was killed in a head-on collision in Delaware County and now a new law in her honor is targeting repeat DUI offenders like the one who was behind the wheel of the truck that hit her. The legislation, dubbed Deana's Law after DeRosa Eckman, has been signed into law Friday. According to Delaware Representative Chris Quinn, who authored the bill, it will better protect drivers in Pennsylvania. "Today marks the end of an effort that began more than three years ago, shortly after the tragic and senseless death of Deana DeRosa Eckman," Quinn said.
