Co-event coordinator April Hendrickson said the simulated crash is a useful tool to raise awareness and to persuade high school students to choose not to drink and drive.

Mock crash victim ejected through windshield and lands on the hood of the car.

Litchville Marion High School Senior Cassandra Fick said the simulation drew out a number of emotions for her and her classmates. She said even though it was a staged event it seemed real to see her classmates die and receive serious injures in the simulated crash.
