TROOP G NEWS RELEASE April 20, 2015 Mock Crash to Be Held at Benton High School Multiple first responder agencies and Benton High School students will participate in a mock fatal crash to demonstrate the dangers of impaired driving and lack of seatbelt usage to the students. On Thursday, April 23, 2015, at 8:45 a.m., on the Benton High School Campus (Located at 6136 LA Highway 3, Benton, LA 71006), 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, Bossier Parish EMS, Bossier Parish Sheriff’s Office, Benton Fire Department, University Health Shreveport, Bossier Parish Coroner’s Office, and Life Air Rescue will participate in the scenario. Representatives 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, 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. ** Contact Information: | |||
