Teenagers in high school everywhere are preparing for their proms and graduation. For a group of teens at Newbury Park High School, that all came to a halt on one fatal accident which occurred on Tuesday, April 8, 2008 at approximately 10pm. LA TIMES reported, Ryan McGlashen, a 17 year old boy, driving with three colleagues, lost control of his vehicle in Malibu on the Pacific Coast Highway, and crashed into the mountainside. The impact caused the vehicle to flip over and eventually rest upside down. The driver lost his life, while two of his passengers suffered major injuries, including a fractured spine, ruptured bladder and broken pelvis. The female passenger suffered major head trauma and is currently in critical condition. The survivors admitted to investigator they had been drinking, while investigators found a large, empty bottle of Jagermeister and, a glass pipe and a pill bottle containing medical marijuana in the car. The irony of the situation is that one of the teens was to participate in the school's program, "Every 15 minutes," which discuss consequences of drinking and driving. The program has been running every year in an effort to teach teens about the consequences of their actions. Unfortunately, these teens has to learn through real life experience.

The driver's name was actually Cody Murphy. Ryan McGlashen was Cody's best friend, but was not involved in the accident
