Ewing Township Emergency Services doesn’t want to see the Class of 2026 crash!
Earlier today, Ewing Police, Fire, and EMS, alongside Capital Health Trauma Team, Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office, Mother’s Recovery Tow, Ewing Township Public Schools, and Ewing Drama Club conducted a mock motor vehicle accident at Ewing High School to remind students that the choices they make behind the wheel can impact not only their own lives, but the lives of everyone around them.
Using real crashed vehicles on school grounds and student volunteers portraying crash victims, the demonstration gave the senior class a firsthand look at how emergency responders handle serious motor vehicle accidents in real time.
These mock crashes serve as a powerful and realistic reminder of the consequences that can come from poor driving decisions — including drinking and driving, driving under the influence, distracted driving, texting while driving, speeding, and failing to wear a seatbelt. Seeing classmates being “extricated” from vehicles, transported for medical care, and placed under arrest sends a message that goes far beyond words. It’s designed to make students stop, think, and make safer choices before they ever find themselves in a real-life emergency.
Driving is a privilege and a milestone many teenagers eagerly anticipate. With that privilege comes responsibility. It is our goal to provide students with the knowledge, awareness, and tools they need to protect themselves and others on the roadway.
To the Class of 2026 — your senior year is almost over! Enjoy every last moment, make memories, look out for one another, and most importantly, make smart decisions. Have fun at prom tonight, stay safe, and remember that one choice can change everything.
