Darien teens take a look at what drunk driving can lead to

The dangers of drunk driving are hard to ignore at Darien High School this week. The members of Darien High School’s Students Against Destructive Decisions, or SADD, worked with the Darien Police, the Depot teen center and high school administration to provide students with a visual reminder of the results of drunk driving.

A 2001 GMC Yukon, crashed by a 2007 DHS graduate this past September, is on display in the high school’s courtyard from Thursday, Nov. 19, to Saturday, Nov. 21. The 19-year-old was driving drunk when he crashed his car into a pole near Colony Road and had to be extricated using the jaws of life. The driver survived the crash.
