Cranberry Area High School students on Friday morning were greeted with a sobering sight. As students got off the bus, they saw a car that had been totaled as a result of distracted driving.
Alongside the car were statistics about distracted driving and warnings to the students written in chalk on the sidewalk. The presence of the wrecked car culminated a weeklong effort by the school to teach students about safe driving.
“It was hard to watch people who were lackadaisical about (distracted driving),” said a student as she talked about the video.
After seeing the car, students were given an opportunity to sign a pledge to be a safe rider and driver.
“The car is a great reminder of what could have happened, what could happen to you,” senior Madison Weaver said.
