CONCORD, N.C. – Concord High School students served up a strong message Thursday about drinking and driving during prom season by recreating of a fatal accident scene.

“I was a dead person who go thrown from a car. I wasn't wearing my seat belt I guess,” senior Jasmine Deberry said.

“I was a dead body in the back seat. There was breaking glass all around me. I was scared,” added, Hayden Dunlap, also a senior.

Chief David Barlow, of the Concord High School Fire Academy, said what the students saw is not to far from the real thing and it should serve as a life lesson for the students.

“We're trying to display visually how serious a drinking and driving accident can be. You can say drink and drive a million times but if you see your friend dying and another friend being taken out of the car, it's more visual,” Deberry said.

A study just released by Liberty Mutual Insurance shows only 6 percent of students admit they drove drunk after prom. Meanwhile, 90 percent believe their peers will drink prom night. The study also showed 89 percent of high schools do some sort of prevention campaign.

“If we can save even one life or one injury, it's worth the effort,” Barlow said.

North Carolina statistics show deadly car crashes do not increase during the prom season and the number of teenage car fatalities is on the decline the past few years.
