The scene served as a reminder of the consequences of drunk driving, and aims to deter students from making potentially deadly choices.

Gibson County EMS joined the Tennessee Highway Patrol, Medina Police and Fire officials, the Gibson County Sheriffs Department, Humboldt Area Rescue, and Vanderbilt Lifeflight to make the scene as realistic as possible.
