Mock collision shows dangers of drinking and driving
Sirens blared as ambulances, a fire truck and a police car raced into the Frontier Centre parking lot. Children watched as workers covered the deceased with sheets, arrested the drunk driver and removed an injured passenger, all while listening to an explanation of events.
This is how North Battleford citizens found out Thursday what could happen if they choose to drink and drive. WPD Ambulance North Battleford staged a mock drunk driving collision and invited the public to watch as part of EMS week.
WPD training manager Jessica Stephens said they want to both warn about the dangers of drunk driving and demonstrate how collisions are handled.
“This kind of gives people a safe opportunity to view what we do and how we work with Fire and the RCMP as well,” she said.
