THREE thousand school students watched the re-enactment of a fatal crash scene today, a shock tactic with the simple message of "it could be you".
Organised by the RAC, the bstreetsmart event was held for the first time in WA and involved blood-covered actors playing the part of crash victims.
Year 10, 11 and 12 students from 40 schools watched as a blanket was pulled over an actor playing the part of a passenger who had died when his mate - a drunk P-plate driver - crashed into a motorcyclist.
St John Ambulance officers treated a girl trapped in the passenger seat while Fire and Rescue Service firefighters used the Jaws of Life to free her from the wreckage.
The students watched on with sombre expressions, gasping as the roof of the car was torn off - suggesting the shock tactics were having the desired affect.
