Old Lyme — Resident State Trooper Kazimera Morse checks on the "victims" in a car as the Lymes' Youth Services Bureau holds a mock crash for students at Lyme/Old Lyme High School on Friday.
The event, staged to give the students a sense of the dangers and results of drunken driving, depicted a single-vehicle crash in which a drunk student was responsible for the death of one classmate and serious injury to another two passengers.
The crash was followed by a mock funeral and assembly with speakers from Mothers Against Drunk Driving and the Backus Hospital emergency department.
