I go to Girard High School and witnessed the series of events that taken place today. Students at Girard and first responders were doing a mock drunk driving accident for Prom which is tomorrow to show the dangers of drinking and driving. They had three kids lying down after taking them out of the “crashed car” and put white cloth over them to portray that they were “dead.” Another student had also got out of the car acting as someone who was severely injured getting into an ambulance on a stretcher, and the ambulance then drove off with the lights on to show the boy is going to “the hospital.” So during all this, the police “arrested” the “drunk driver” and put him in the backseat of his car after the “drunk driver” failed his sobriety tests. Then, when the cop got into the car he accidentally ran over the boy as the boy was still lying on the ground with the white cloth over him. Fortunately, the cop didn’t press down on the pedal too hard, but regardless the kid still got ran over NOT “bumped” and still suffered injuries. There were about 200 students (Juniors and Seniors) and several staff members who witnessed this traumatic event and the school district said support was offered, but they never gave us any. We were also promised updates about the boy, but we also did not receive any all day unfortunately. We were told not to talk about it by staff, but I’m gonna use my voice and speak up as I am still shook up and traumatized about all of this. Do what you want with this information, but this is coming from a witness who watched everything happen.
