Friday, May 28, 2010

Local groups came together to support the Delaware Office of Highway Safety to conduct a Prom Promise Event at the Laurel High School. A Mock Crash took place in front of the High School to show students the dangers of drinking and driving. With Laurel's Prom being tomorrow night, the event was to give awareness to the students who will be driving this busy weekend. Groups including, Nanticoke Memorial Hospital, Laurel Fire Dept., Laurel Police Dept., Hannigan-Short Funeral Homes and Carey's Towing came together to stage the event. The event was coordinated by Merritt Burke of the Office of Highway Safety and narrated by Laurel Fire Dept. Deputy Chief Mike Lowe. A moving part of the program was a presentation by Brad Owens, whose sister was lost in a D.U.I crash last May.
