Students gathered Thursday morning outside of the school for a demonstration by the Hackensack fire and police departments on the consequences of not driving responsibly.
The public entities staged a car crash requiring the use of heavy duty equipment to extract high school aged "victims" from the wreckage — as they do annually.

The presentation is meant to keep the prom participants safe from such lapses in reason, according to school officials.
