It’s prom season across Central Illinois and high school graduations are also right around the corner. Illinois State Police 9th District Safety Education Officer Sean Ramsey says prom and graduation season is the time of year that the most teenagers are killed in car accidents.
Ramsey says the motto for prom this year is a simple acronym.
Ramsey says teens should not compound a bad decision with a worse decision.
Ramsey says the biggest key to having a memorable weekend and avoiding a tragedy this time of year is for teens to be smart and use common sense.
