Sirens, smoke and smashed vehicles took over the parking lot at St Mary's highschool Friday afternoon. Grade 11 and 12 students were shown a mock disaster ahead of the long weekend so they had a better idea of the dangers of drinking and driving. Students were walked through a scenario where a impaired teen hit a car, killing the driver and watched as emergency crews went through the steps of extracting the body before the coroner showed up. Region 3 Representative for Students Against Impaired Driving, Brittany Beatty says while telling students not to drink and drive has some impact, they find the scare factor and major impact presentation is what really gets through to the students. "When they take away the deceased and when they show the baby seat come out of the back of the car and the police tells them the story of the background, what is going to happen afterwords. I find that has the biggest impact." Beatty says she isn't telling her fellow students not to party, she is merely asking them to find a safe way home.
