WEST NEWBURY — The West Newbury Police and Fire Departments, as well as police and fire from Merrimac and Groveland and local ambulance companies, will be on hand at Pentucket Middle High School on the afternoon of Tuesday, April 23 for a mock crash that is being presented to students.
A large number of first responders will be at the Middle High School starting about noon to facilitate the mock crash, which is meant to give students a look at the risks associated with drinking and driving and distracted driving. The mock crash is being presented in the front of the school, between the school building and the school’s parking lot. Police and fire radio traffic will also be part of the drill, so those listening to scanners locally are also reminded that the incident is a drill.
The mock crash will wrap up about 2 p.m. Residents are encouraged to not be alarmed if they see a large number of first responders at the Middle High School between noon and 2 p.m.
