I remember this from last year. Every time I drive while going to and from a dance I think of the mock crash even though I never drink. This has really stuck to me and I love that I got to watch this.

The mock car crash was a magnificent scene depicting the perils of drunk driving. The acting and the willingness of the community to come together to spread a message against drunk driving was poignant I was honored I got to watch. I was a part of the crash at my old school, and this one was phenomenal in upholding the standard of realness and tragedy that could so easily happen.

I think this really did have an impact on students. I know that it did on me. It was a wild experience for sure. I enjoyed it and it also made me think. Great article Hannah!

Even though this is my article, I wanted to comment on how well all the forces did who took the time to come out and show the student body of Carlisle just how life threatening bad choices can make, especially when going behind the wheel. Hopefully everyone made smart decisions on prom night and continue to do so as graduation approaches!

I think the mock crash was such a great visual representation of what can happen by careless drivers. I liked how the police, fire dept, a real judge, and more people that would actually come to a crash, came. it was so cool and I wasn’t expecting it. all the students that took part in it did a good job with their role as well as everyone else who was apart of it. they made it feel and seem so real.
