The Cherry Hill Fire
Department and the Cherry Hill Police Department along with organizers of
Cherry Hill High School West will present the annual Operation Prom Program on
Tuesday, June 3 at 8:30 a.m. The event
will take place on the side parking lot of Cherry Hill High School West.
The program will
include four high school students involved in a severe crash after they’ve been
drinking at an after prom party. The mock crash involves the car spinning out
of control and hitting a telephone pole causing the unrestrained passenger to
become ejected from the vehicle and die at the scene. The two back seat passengers and the driver
are injured and have to be extricated by the Fire Department. The driver will be arrested by the Police Department
for driving while intoxicated. The
narrator will explain the costs both emotionally and financially that affect family,
friends, victims and the community at large.
The Operation Prom program is meant to be a harsh reminder of the
dangers associated with impaired and distracted driving. The Cherry Hill Fire and Police
Departments annually present Operation Prom to students with the hope they will
make the right decisions on prom night.
Cherry Hill High
School West’s Senior Prom is Thursday, June 5, 2014.
