Rockville High School Students Get A Driving Lesson At Mock Crash

VERNON, CT — Rockville High School students were given a very realistic look at the perils of impaired and distracted driving Friday at a mock crash organized by School Resource Officer Allison Lawrence.

The scenario depicted a two-car crash involving students on Loveland Hill Road orchestrated by fire captain Jeff Schambach.

Paniced "conversations" among student actors at the "scene" implied that both distracted and impaired driving may have been a factor.

Real emergency crews rushed to the scene. Life Star helicopter even landed on school grounds. The crash scene depicted serious injuries and even a fatality. Firefighters extricated one victim from a mangled car.

As an added shock, a hearse was brought in.

Saturday is date for the RHS junior prom.
