Mock accident encourages teens to make wise choices

The mock accident event at Brooke High School was organized to educate students on the serious consequences of reckless driving, particularly when alcohol is involved. The simulation included local police, firefighters, and ambulance crews who responded to a staged crash involving four teenagers, creating a realistic scenario that captivated the audience. As the emergency responders assisted the injured students, onlookers were especially drawn to one teen being subjected to a sobriety test, highlighting the reality of impaired driving consequences. This initiative is part of a broader effort to promote responsible decision-making among young people in the community. The presence of emergency services highlighted the collaborative approach to youth safety and education, demonstrating the community's investment in preventing future tragedies.

Organizers emphasized the importance of such events in leaving a lasting impression on students. Participants expressed hope that the event would encourage teens to think critically about their choices. Ultimately, the mock accident aimed to foster a culture of safety and responsibility among the youth.
