WATCH: Merrimack High School Mock Crash
Performance attempts to recreate an accident scene in an effort to curb speeding as well as distracted and drunk driving.
MERRIMACK, NH - Merrimack High School students were able to participate in a unique experience yesterday – what it might be like to witness a major crash scene.
The Mock Crash display was put together by Students Against Destructive Decisions, with the help of local police, fire, and others, in order to recreate a realistic crash scene for seniors at the school to witness.
Merrimack Police wrote that watching the actors and students showing raw emotion while the events unfolded in front of them, “was sobering,” according to a post on Facebook.
