JONESBORO, AR (KAIT) – Students at one Region 8 High School
are taking matters in their own hands, forcing fellow classmates to take a good
look at the consequences of drinking while driving.
EAST lab students at
Valley View High School put on a "mock car wreck" with the help of
local emergency responders.
More than 700 students got
a realistic look at what could happen when someone decides to behave
irresponsibly.
"When they see the cars
wrecked and their peers are in those wrecked cars hurt, even though it is just
make believe, it kind of sends the message maybe I ought to think twice before
I drink and drive." said Toni Hall, EAST Facilitator for Valley View High School.
Senior Ashley Carter says
she hopes fellow students realize the impact something like this can have. ""I hope they
see how this can affect their friends, family and just everyone around them."
The Jonesboro Police Department, Fire
Department, Medic One and Air Evac representatives participated in the mock
scene.
Three more employees of the truck stop chain owned by the Cleveland Browns' owner and Tennessee's governor have pleaded guilty in what authorities call a scheme to cheat trucking firms out of rebates.
