TROOP E NEWS RELEASE March 24, 2015 Mock Crash to Take Place at Bunkie High School for Students Bunkie, LA- Multiple first responder agencies and Bunkie High School students will participate in a mock fatal crash to demonstrate the dangers of impaired driving, lack of seat belt usage, and distracted driving (texting) to the students. On Wednesday, March 25, 2015, at 1:00 p.m., on the Bunkie High School Campus (located at 435 Evergreen St., Bunkie, LA), multiple agencies will work with students to demonstrate the possible fatal consequences of impaired driving, the dangers of not wearing a seat belt, and driving distracted. Students and the students’ parents will act out a fatal crash scene scenario, in front of their peers, allowing them to see first-hand how drinking and driving effects everyone involved. Numerous agencies, including Louisiana State Police Troop E, Rapides Regional Level 2 Trauma Center, Bunkie Fire & Rescue Unit, Avoyelles Parish Sheriff’s Office, and Acadian Ambulance, will participate in the fatal crash scene scenario. Personnel from each agency will be available to answer all of the students' questions at the conclusion of the event. This is an effort by participating agencies to reduce the number of underage DWI's as well as serious injury and fatal crashes, in our community. Programs, such as mock crashes, teach our youth the importance of making sound decisions throughout the course of their lives. ** All media outlets are invited to attend this event. **
