Description
Hosted by a career EMT, this video reveals the hard truth and horrifying ordeals resulting from driving under the influence of alcohol—a young woman tells the story of having to identify her little sister’s body at a morgue after she was killed by an intoxicated teen driver; an ER doctor talks about “breaking the news” to parents whose son was killed in a drunk driving crash; and a young man shares the details of his living nightmare when he killed his two best friends while he was driving under the influence. The program concludes with the EMT relating a grisly story of a young girl critically burned after her car was hit by a drunken teenager. Each incident is told “live” in front of an audience of students, parents, teachers, and medical professionals who add their expertise. Dramatic video reenactments hammer home the indisputable truth that driving while drunk or impaired results in unforgettable pain, suffering, and death. ©2008 CC
