Issaquah High School students Teagan Cameron, Abby Glasgow and Sarah Morsi look with shock and horror at the scene of a horrible car crash… fortunately, it was just a staged scenario.

Last Friday’s grisly reenactment, involving lots of fake blood, smash cars, sirens and lights, and fellow students playing dead and seriously injured, was all part of a local police and emergency services program to make young drivers aware of the dangers of drinking and driving.

The car crash scenarios were held in a number of area high schools this month, to encourage teenagers to make the right choice before they get behind the wheel of a vehicle.
