Sudden Impact Mock Crash to Be Held at Red River High School Coushatta -- Multiple first responder agencies along with Red River High School students will participate in a mock crash to demonstrate the dangers of impaired driving and lack of seat belt usage to the students. On Friday, April 5, 2019, at 1:00 p.m., on the Red River High School Campus (Located at 915 E. Carroll Street, Coushatta, LA 71019), 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, Red River Fire, Red River EMS, Rocket-Nettles Funeral Home, Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport, Red River Parish School Board and Nolen’s Wrecker Service will participate in the scenario. Local residents should not be alarmed to see and hear emergency vehicles arriving at the school during the mock crash 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: TPR Glenn Younger | |||
