West Potomac Academy EMT, 911 Dispatch and Criminal Justice students participated in an emergency simulation exercise with community public safety partners.  The scenario was an intoxicated driver drove a car through a group of students in a school parking lot.  As emergency vehicles arrived on the scene, students manned the emergency situation under the guidance of the safety and EMT professionals.
