TOWER CITY, N.D. (AP) — Students at a North Dakota high school will be witnessing a mock car-crash event as part of a safety campaign that authorities are launching ahead of prom and graduation season.
The Cass County Sheriff's Office is taking Operation Prom to Maple Valley High School in Tower City on Wednesday.
The students will see the simulated scene of a fatal, alcohol-related crash. Four student actors and emergency personnel from area agencies will participate in the event.
The sheriff's office says the weeks between prom and graduation are a particularly hazardous time for teen drivers.
