FAKE CRASH SHOCK FOR UK TEEN JOYRIDERS

Ten teenagers in Wales got a shock as they made what they thought was a police-organized trip to an outdoor rehabilitation program. In the roadway, they came across the demolished remnants of two cars surrounded by broken glass and blood. The group was informed immediately that the accident was a mock-up, but youth workers said they reacted as if they were at the scene of a real crash. The fake crash was set up by South Wales police as a means of preventing joyriders from repeating their offenses.
