TROOP G NEWS RELEASE

March 21, 2017
Sudden Impact Mock Crash to Be Held at

Bossier Parish School for Technology and Innovative Learning


Multiple first responder agencies and BPSPIL students will participate in a mock fatal crash to demonstrate the dangers of impaired driving and lack of seatbelt usage to the students.

On Friday, March 24, 2017, at 8:00 a.m., on the BPSPIL Campus (Located at 1841 Swan Lake Bossier City, LA 71111), multiple agencies will work with students to demonstrate the possible fatal consequences of impaired driving and the dangers of not using seat belts. 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.

Numerous state and local agencies including Louisiana State Police Troop G, Bossier Parish EMS, Life Air Rescue, Bossier Parish Sheriff’s Office, Benton Fire Department, University Health Shreveport, Thinkfirst of the Arklatex, and Kenny’s Towing will participate in the scenario.

This is an effort by participating agencies to reduce the number of underage DWI's as well as serious injury and fatal crashes, particularly during Prom season. Programs such as mock crashes teach youth the importance of making sound decisions throughout the course of their lives.

** All media outlets are invited to attend this event. **
