TROOP A - NEWS RELEASE April 26, 2012 “Consequences of Impact” Mock Crash Scheduled at Walker High School Walker – On Friday, April 27 at 9:00 am, Walker High School will be participating in “Consequences of Impact”, a mock fatality crash involving impaired driving. Students involved will act out a fatal crash scene scenario in front of their peers, allowing the students to see first-hand how drinking and driving affects everyone involved. Parents and teachers will also be playing parts in this scenario. The Mock Crash will emphasize the dangers and consequences of impaired driving and distracted driving, the importance of seat belt use, and the emotional suffering families endure when a fatal crash occurs in reality. This is an extension of the “Sudden Impact” program, which is put on in Baton Rouge by Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center and Louisiana State Police. This event has been made possible due, in large part, to the support of the Walker Police Department. Several agencies will be providing their services to ensure the safety of everyone involved. Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center, Louisiana State Police, Walker Police Department, Acadian Ambulance, District 4 Fire Department, Livingston Parish Coroner’s Office, and Trading Post Wrecker Service will be participating in the scenario. Personnel from each agency will be available to answer all of the students’ questions at the conclusion of the event. Proactive educational initiatives, such as “Consequences of Impact”, strive to reduce the number of underage DWI’s and serious injury and fatal crashes while promoting the importance of sound decision making and behavior. Individuals from each of the agencies listed have graciously donated their time and talents to ensure a successful event. **All media outlets are invited to attend this event. ** Contact Information: TFC Russell G.
