Decisions.

That's what it all comes down to, law enforcement officials say.

On Tuesday, Northfield High School hosted a mock crash in which two cars collided. In the scenario, one driver was drinking. The driver made it out of the wreck unscathed, but two were dead and others were severely injured. The driver was later arrested for criminal vehicular homicide.

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.

If this makes even one student buckle up, or hand the keys to someone sober, than it was worth it.

Ashley, the video works for me. You may need to install a plug-in for it. When you come to this page is there a prompt to install something?
