Springbank School’s Students Against Drink-Driving (Sadd) staged a mock car crash at the school’s Kerikeri grounds last Friday to highlight the dangers of combining alcohol and driving. Police, a make-up artist with litres of fake blood, and volunteers from Kerikeri Fire Brigade and St John Ambulance took part in the demonstration. The scenario was a head-on crash resulting in one death and multiple injuries; firefighters had to cut the roof from one car to allow the patients to be removed.
