There will be a mock crash that will take place in the Denfeld parking lot next to PSS on Thursday May 9, 2013 at 9:20 am.
This program is probably different from any other traffic safety program you have seen in the past. You are going to hear and see exactly what victims of a car crash would experience during and after the crash. This will occur in real time as it does in real situations.
Fatal traffic crashes are the leading cause of death for young people in Minnesota and in the United States. You will witness what takes place in a serious injury and/ or fatal traffic crash. This crash involves two vehicles and six students. The purpose of the mock crash is to present students a real life scenario with the objective of preventing drunk driving and demonstrate the importance of wearing seat belts.
