Mock accident teaches students dangers of driving drunk

The often-gruesome and tragic effects of dangerous driving among teenagers were in full display for the students at Jefferson/Silva High School on Nov. 7, 2018 during a simulated, but very realistic mock emergency drill. The school organized a Shattered Dreams mock crash, which shows students what can happen when teens choose to drink and drive. The event used crashed cars, fake blood and the intervention of actors and real-life first responders. The simulation at Jefferson even featured a death scene complete with crying relatives, funeral home officials and several grim reapers. (Leonel Monroy, Jr./El Paso ISD)
