Slumped over the hood of a heavily damaged maroon car was Michelle Minahen, in her long prom gown. She had been ejected through the windshield during a crash, caused by a drunk driver.

The teen was pronounced dead at the scene Tuesday morning in front of hundreds of her peers at Benicia High School.

On Wednesday, in an emotional climax to a two-day simulation, Michelle came back to life and was reunited with her grateful parents. She and her family all had participated in a grueling activity aimed at saving young lives.
