Local first responders and members of Tamarac's SADD club conducted a mock crash event at Tamarac High School today to remind students and parents about how making the right choice behind the wheel can protect themselves and others from dangerous driving behaviors.
Brunswick Brittonkill Central School District used the event to remind parents/guardians about the importance of talking with their teens to reinforce teen driving laws, and to set their own family driving rules to protect them from being injured or killed in a crash. The mock crash took place the morning of Tamarac's junior and senior prom.
The mock crash uses real crashed vehicles set up on school grounds and student participants to act out roles as crash victims. The school’s juniors and seniors watched the demonstration and learned how emergency responders conduct rescue efforts in real-time.
