CICERO -- Liverpool High School students and parents turned out in Cicero on Wednesday to see how one student's death continues to affect the community.

Victoria Deverso, 17, was killed in a drunk-driving crash more than a year ago. She was a passenger in her friend's car. Chelsea Kuss admitted to drinking Four Loko before getting behind the wheel. She tried to pass another car on Route 31 in Bridgeport when she slammed into a minivan. Peggy Blume was the driver of the minivan and was seriously hurt.

On Wednesday, students showed a video, portraying Deverso with friends. It served as a reminder of the dangers of getting in the car with someone who has been drinking.
