Today, seniors at Egg Harbor Township High School witnessed a sobering reminder of the real-life consequences that can result from impaired driving.
As part of a mock crash demonstration, students watched as several of their classmates were portrayed as victims of a serious motor vehicle crash. The realistic scenario included students receiving treatment for moderate to serious injuries, one student being placed under arrest for driving under the influence, and the tragic loss of a life.
While the scene was only a simulation, the message was very real.
The dangerous realities that can follow a decision to drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol were on full display, providing students with an opportunity to see firsthand the devastating impact impaired driving can have on individuals, families, and an entire community.
Fortunately, this was only a warning—a carefully planned educational event held in advance of prom and graduation season through the cooperation of Egg Harbor Township High School, the Egg Harbor Township Police Department, the New Jersey State Police, Fire and EMS personnel, and the Medical Examiner’s Office.
As our students celebrate these important milestones, we encourage everyone to make responsible choices:
✔️ Never drive impaired.
✔️ Plan for a safe ride home.
✔️ Look out for your friends.
✔️ Speak up if someone is about to make a dangerous decision.
One choice can change lives forever. Make it a safe one.
