New Kensington and Arnold police departments and first responders from New Kensington, Arnold and Lower Burrell stage a mock car crash Friday morning for Valley High School junior and senior students. The pre-prom demonstration was to remind young adults to act responsibly while driving. Valley High’s prom is scheduled for April 26. Students portrayed crash victims for the demonstration.
A mock crash Friday morning outside Valley High School in New Kensington was meant to teach students about the dangers of distracted driving.

A Life Flight helicopter was among the emergency vehicles participating in the program in the school’s parking lot.
The event comes a week ahead of the Valley High School prom, which will be held from 6 to 10 p.m. April 26 at Veltre’s Event Center in Plum.
