Arrive Alive: Simulated fatal crash drives home driving safety message
Arrive Alive challenges teens to think about the dangers of impaired and distracted driving. The program is designed to create a first-hand experience showing how students' actions and decisions affect the lives of many people. It also helps open emotional doors and addresses problems most teens don’t know would exist when poor decisions are made.
As part of Arrive Alive, a simulated crash staged in Cougar Stadium on Monday, April 17 involved pre-selected students who acted out the accident scenario. The actors were treated by paramedics for injuries following a head-on collision caused by a driver who was impaired and distracted by cell phone use. This simulation also served as a training exercise for real-life responses by local law enforcement, firefighters, and paramedics.
A shout out to our community partners--Blaine Police Department, other local law enforcement, local hospitals, emergency medical responders, schools, and businesses--for your involvement in the simulation which illustrates the importance of working together to ensure a healthy community.
