Students were able to visit information booths about driver safety between classes, with the dramatic demonstration taking place during Friday's lunch break.

A group of more than 100 students gathered to watch Greenwich police, fire, and emergency medical service personnel pretend to rescue three teens from a wrecked car.

Police also demonstrated a field sobriety test and "arrested" the driver of the car.
