More than 1,300 students from around the region got a live demonstration on how distracted and impaired driving can have serious consequences on Wednesday.
Missoula first responders and Ogren Park at Allegiance Field presented the "Your Choices Matter" Mock Crash in an effort make teens think twice about their decisions when behind the wheel.
In this scenario, a two vehicle crash is caused when a distracted teenage driver crosses the center line and hits a mother and her child head on. An occupant in the teen's car is ejected, while the driver is able to call for help. Emergency responders arrive to find two trapped in the first vehicle, while they aid the girl who was ejected.
