Sundre High School Drama Club students were involved on Friday morning in the annual staged collision scenario that drives home an important message about refraining from operating a motor vehicle either impaired or distracted.

Emergency responders — including members of the Sundre Fire Department, RCMP as well as EMS — work together for the demonstration, which is a part of the school’s effort to promote the P.A.R.T.Y. (Prevent Alcohol & Risk-Related Trauma in Youth) program ahead of graduation. Also helping to make possible the event is local company Bulldog Towing.

Following the live extrication were presentations in the school’s gym of personal stories from people impacted by impaired driving.
