 Juniors and seniors at Pequot Lakes High School were given a shocking lesson about the effects of drunk and distracted driving today. Put on by local agencies, a mock car scene was put into place in the parking lot. The mock head-on collision involved five students acting as if the crash actually happened. One passenger was pronounced dead at the scene. One was in critical condition and was airlifted. The drunk driver was arrested. Two other passengers had non-life-threatening injuries. The mock crash scene was a way to show students the effects of drunk driving right before their prom which is coming up this weekend. It was actually kind of scary you know you see all those moving parts going around and I guess it was just sort of eye-opening to all the things that go into dealing with a crash like that. We're not invincible. These things do happen to kids and we just need to be careful and smart. Definitely going to make me think twice about doing really anything behind the wheel and safe driving always for sure. The students that participated in the mock crash scene were members of SAD or students against destructive decisions.
