Mock-Crash Drives Home the Realities of Drunken Driving

When students, parents and staff arrived at school Friday morning, they witnessed all sorts of emergency equipment tending to a mock two-car accident caused by a drunk driver.

The demonstration, put together by the RHS Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD), the Romeoville police and fire departments and Pfeiffer Towing, took place the morning of the RHS prom to emphasize to students the dangers of drinking and driving.

The accident was set up in the field next to the main entrance to RHS so everyone arriving by car or by bus could witness what was happening as they came to school.
