Adrian students get sobering lesson about drinking and driving

 Drinking while driving certainly can have deadly consequences and Adrian R-3 students got an 'up front and personal look' at exactly what takes place when tragedy strikes.

With the help of the Highway Patrol, the Adrian police, Bates County EMS, LifeFlight and neighboring fire departments, the Adrian Fire Department hosted a demonstration this morning to show every aspect of working a deadly car crash.

The 'victims' (portrayed by actors) didn't fare so well. One fatality was taken away by the Bates County Coroner; one taken by medical helicopter with life threatening injuries; one by ambulance and the driver was handcuffed and arrested for DUI.

By studying the faces of onlookers, this scene certainly had impact and hopefully will serve as an ongoing reminder to be aware of the consequences of driving while under the influence.

Thanks not only goes to those mentioned above but also to the Bates County Sheriff's Department, the Adrian Schools, Adrian Fire Chief Gary Dizney, Adrian Tow and all others involved this morning.
