Students at Wrightstown high school participated in a mock car crash ahead of prom. The "Every 15 minutes"  was started by Mothers Against Drunk driving. The drill signifies that a drunk driver kills someone every 15 minutes in the U.S.  Students play the victims and see the aftermath of a crash play out in front of them.

“If we can get the kids to think about their actions when they are out having a good time that's all we want,” said Ben Vosters with Wrightstown Fire & Rescue.

Wrightstown Fire and Rescue was assisted by the Wisconsin State Patrol. The event put on for Wrightstown High School Students since 2005 every other year.
