Poway High Demonstrates Consequences of Drinking and Driving

Two seniors reminded more than 2,000 of their peers and members of the community about the dangers of drinking and driving Tuesday.

Anna Schwab and Brooke Stark presented their senior project “Every 15 Minutes” to the student body. The project, which is funded by the California Highway Patrol, reenacts the aftermath of car crash that involved drunk teen drivers.

"I think it's really important because it's involves two of the most fatal things for teens—cars and alcohol," said Schwab who has worked on the project for months. "We're hoping this will serve as a reminder for them."

The demonstration involved student actors, the Poway Fire Department and the Poway Sheriff's Station.
