On Friday, April 3, Madison students witnessed a wreck simulation on campus. With the cooperation of the Madison City Police Department, Fire Department, Metro One police helicopter, and Aircare, Madison Central gave students a realistic picture of what it's like when someone makes bad choices involving driving. Metro One was first on the scene which was staged at the north end of campus in a grassy area across from the football stadium. Students crowded together in designated viewing spots as emergency responders moved through their normal procedures which included assessing the driver's condition, removing the vehicle door to gain access and, ultimately, calling in AirCare to airlift the patient to a local hospital. Senior Bradley Martin played the role of the careless driver for this simulation. Following the simulation, an announcement over the public address students encouraged students to consider others who are affected by their choices. Prom night should be a memory of good times with close friends, not a memory of tragedy brought on by careless choices. Pictures from the simulation were published in the Clarion Ledger, a metro area newspaper.
