Bradley Central High School, partnered with Bradley County Sheriff’s Office, Bradley County Fire and Rescue, Bradley County EMS, the Bradley County Medical Examiner and Life Force, has created an event to illustrate and emphasize the realities and consequences of drug use in our schools. The students and participants will get a first-hand look at the consequences and heartache that such choices can bring to friends and families.
On April 20th, beginning at 11:00 AM, juniors and seniors will watch Part 1 of a video series that will show a quick look at all of the lives who are involved in the “Crash.” Following Part 1 of the video, students will gather around the “Mock Crash” scene that will be located in the athletic lot behind the football field. Bradley County Sheriff’s Department, Bradley County Fire and Rescue, the Bradley County EMS, Life Force, and Medical Examiners will be involved in working the “crash” scene.
We want to inform the community of the event. The mock crash uses real crashed vehicles set up on school grounds and student participants to act out roles as crash victims. Emergency crews will arrive on the scene as if were actual. Mock crashes are a dramatic presentation to educate the audience about the true consequences of making poor driving decisions. When students see their peers carried out in body bags or in handcuffs, it hits home. “
When the live “Mock Crash” scene is complete, the students will then watch Part 2 of the video which will highlight the aftermath of the crash. This event is taking place in hopes of reaching the students in our community and stressing upon them the consequences and realities of unregulated marijuana usage.
