Massachusetts Students Hope Mock Drunk Driving Crash Raises Awareness

Leaders of Students Against Drunk Driving (SADD) hoped that a mock drunk driving accident in front of Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School raised awareness about the consequences of driving drunk.

Juniors and seniors of the high school were required to attend the mock crash as part of a week of events that were used to raise awareness about substance abuse.  The mock accident began with two cars in the parking lot covered with black cloths.  Voices of two intoxicated teens could be heard.  At one point a teen yelled “slow down,” while the voice of the driver said, “shut up, I’m fine!”

Next, the sounds of metal crashing and glass breaking could be heard.  The black cloths were then removed to reveal two smashed cars with bloody victims trapped inside.  Students could hear a 911 phone call from the frantic driver followed by shrieking sirens.

During the mock drunk driving accident, firefighters placed a white cloth over a dead victim and then used the Jaws of Life to free an injured driver.  While police officers questioned the drunk driver, students could hear the injured driver screaming as firefighters lifted him out of the wreck and wheeled him to a waiting ambulance.

One of the students watching the scene said that it was very realistic and frightening.  He went on to say that it allows one to see the bad effects alcohol can have on someone. 

Captain Tim Choate of the Sudbury Fire Department said, “when you have a couple thousand kids and you can hear a pin drop, that shows they are getting the message.  Kids have the feeling of invincibility and a drill like this shows them that they’re not invincible.”
