[December 17, 2025] Families are highlighting Tennessee’s statewide memorial sign program and remembering DUI crash victims this December, which is National Impaired Driving Prevention Month. They are urging the public to not drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs this holiday season.
The memorial sign program began in 2016, when the state legislature passed the Tyler Head Law, named after 20-year-old Tyler Head, who was killed in a head-on crash in Clarksville in 2012. His mother, Gina Head-Hieber, helped lobby to get the bill signed by Governor Bill Haslam. Since then, the Tennessee Department of Transportation has erected and maintained more than 20 signs across the state, honoring Tennesseans killed in DUI crashes.
As seen in the video below, there are certain criteria that must be met for a memorial sign to be placed on a state road, honoring a loved one. Families interested in learning more about the program and process can contact their local district attorney’s office.
