TROOP G NEWS RELEASE March 30, 2016 Sudden Impact Mock Crash to Be Held at Ringgold High School Multiple first responder agencies and Ringgold 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 Friday, April 1, 2016, at 9:30 a.m., on the Ringgold High School Campus (Located at 4044 Bienville Rd Ringgold, LA 71068), 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. Students from four other Bienville Parish schools will also be attending this event. Numerous state and local agencies including Louisiana State Police Troop G, Advanced EMS, Pafford Air One, Bienville Parish Sheriff’s Office, Bienville Parish Fire Department, University Health Shreveport, Bienville Parish Coroner’s Office, Ringgold Police Department, and Tipton’s Wrecker Service 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. ** Contact Information: | |||
