I do believe that a group of school girls got into a car, there were not enough room for them and they did not know the driver (who apparently, was under the influence of either drink or drugs). The driver locked them in and refused to stop. The car then ended up in a ditch and at least one of the girls required CPR. Nobody was wearing a seat belt.

Several emergency services were called to the scene.

Obviously, I cant say if its fact. Its just what seems to be doing the rounds.

The car then ended up in a ditch ( The car ended up on the grass verge , Not in a ditch)and at least one of the girls required CPR( Not true). do not know if the driver was under the influence of controlled substances, and it appears that they were not wearing their seatbelts.

Sorry, I heard the above from someone who attended the call. I assume you were at the call and/or part of the emergency team?

Grass Verge is more or less a ditch Just not fully in.

What kind of muppets don't wear seatbelts these days regardless of age, I've seen a few people lately not wearing them ranging from 40+ to teens and I just can't understand it

Again, its all hearsay, but if the story is correct then I dont think they expected to be going anywhere in the car. There were to many and the driver took off. Apparently.
