The “very poignant” event held at Witchford Village College aimed to educate Year 11 students about all things road safety.
An exercise, held on Tuesday, December 18, delivered by Ely firefighters put the vice principal and two students in a mock-up road traffic collision.
It was described by the school as a “thought-provoking experience” and “very chilling” – the pretend cyclist sadly didn’t make it.
