High school juniors and seniors watched the hour-long event as it went from the initial wreck to one of the passengers being put in a body bag.

The event also had speakers discuss the issue of drinking and driving. Speakers included Rice County Attorney Paul Beaumaster and Kelly and Ron Landsverk of Faribault, whose daughter, Brittney, drowned last year after the car she was in went into the Cannon River.
