When I was in high school we did something kind of like this--we asked several students from different school groups to be "dead" for the day.
Names were read over the PA system once an hour to demonstrate the number of losses to drunk driving each day. When their name was called student participants left class and went to get a sign to wear explaining they were killed by drunk driving and put on makeup to make them look pale. Then they were not able to talk to anyone for the rest of the day until they were "revived" at an assembly.
Something like this might be effective in place of totally traumatizing the students.
