Mock accident shows Mars students horrors of driving under the influence
ADAMS TWP — Mars Area High School’s Mock Accident Assembly left one “dead” and two “injured” Wednesday, April 12, in a dramatization of the results of driving under the influence.
Adams Township police officer Mike Bordt addressed a crowd of Mars juniors and seniors behind the simulated wreckage of a head-on collision.
“We have a very real scene here for you today,” Bordt said. “As we get into the 2023 prom and graduation season, watch what’s going on here and just realize that this could be the effects of what impaired driving can do.”
Responding were Butler County 911, Adams police, Adams Area Volunteer Fire District, Callery Borough Volunteer Fire Company, Middlesex Township Volunteer Fire Company, Quality EMS and the Allengheny Health Network Wexford Pre-Hospital Response.
