Baldwin School Students Shown the Dangers of Driving Drunk [Video]

Narberth Ambulance staged an accident to show the dangers of drinking and driving to students of the Baldwin School on April 23.

The ambulance company and local fire companies worked together to extricate the passengers, and the police administered a sobriety test and arrested the driver. Students portrayed the passengers in the cars.

"Everything you will see is what would happen in real life," Chris Flanagan, Chief of Narberth Ambulance, told the students before the demonstration.

The goal was to illustrate to students, many of whom are going to prom this week, the consequences of driving while drunk or getting into a vehicle with an intoxicated driver. 

"Every life is fragile to us, which is why we don't want to see one of you" taken away in a stretcher, Flanagan said.
