Algonquin students learn the realities of drinking and driving

Northborough/ Southborough - Three Algonquin Regional High School (ARHS) juniors were looking forward to a summer hanging out with their friends and then senior year before heading off to college and a lifetime of adult responsibilities. But one bad decision – to drink and drive - has left one facing criminal charges, one paralyzed and another dead. Fortunately for the three students - Bobby Campbell, Brennan Burns and Taylor O'Connell - and their families and friends, the above is not a true story. Rather the three were part of a re-enactment in the ARHS parking lot today that showcased the ramifications of what might happen if an inexperienced young driver gets behind the wheel after drinking alcohol.
