TROOP A - NEWS RELEASE May 8, 2012 “Consequences of Impact” Mock Crash Scheduled at St. Amant High School St. Amant – On Wednesday, May 9 at 7:45 am, St. Amant 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. 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, Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office, St. Amant Fire Department, Gonzales Police Department, Gonzales EMS, Acadian Ambulance, Church Funeral Service, and Gonzales Towing 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. This mock crash has been made possible largely due to the support of the St. Amant Fire Department. 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.
