Prom Promise Demonstration Shows High Schoolers The Reality Of Drunk Driving

April 23, 2026

A realistic DUI crash demonstration involving students gave Flomaton High School students a dose of reality on Wednesday morning.

One student, the DUI driver, was arrested. Two were transported to the hospital — one by helicopter in critical condition and one by ambulance.

One student did not survive. A mother screamed in agony.

The demonstration was all part of the school’s Prom Promise program, encouraging the students to not drink and drive.
