'Ghost Out' shows high school students the dangers of driving drunk
Consequences hit home with staged crash
W 032312 GHOST OUT 01
Steve Green, left, and Brent Conner, right, of the Statesboro Fire Department and Bulloch County Sheriff Department chaplain Joey Fennell demonstrate the tasks involved in a fatal auto accident to the Statesboro High student body during Friday's Ghost Out to educate students about the consequences of driving under the influence or distracted driving.
Students at a pair of area high schools were given a sobering reminder Friday of the extreme dangers associated with driving under the influence. They watched as classmates were torn from mangled vehicles and lifted from the ground, their scarred and lifeless faces covered with white sheets, and placed in ambulances and even a coroner’s van. Rows of young people looked on as police and fire personnel surrounded the scene of a three-car accident, bandaging survivors and preparing for transport those who were not so lucky.
