TROOP G - NEWS RELEASE March 23, 2015 Mock Crash To Be Held For Summerfield High School Students Multiple first responder agencies and Summerfield High School students will participate in a mock fatal crash to demonstrate the dangers of impaired driving and lack of seat belt usage to the students. On Thursday, March 26, 2015, at 9:00 a.m., on the Summerfield High School Campus (Located on LA Highway 9, 10 miles north of Homer), 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, Summerfield Fire Department, Claiborne Parish Sheriff's Office, 2nd Circuit District Attorney’s Office, Pafford Ambulance Service, Claiborne Parish Coroner's Office, University Health Shreveport and M.A.D.D. will participate in the 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, 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: | |||
