In the second car were three victims, two of which were simulated to be partially ejected through the windshield from the force of the crash, and one simulated victim in the rear seat trapped with a serious head injury. The cars were positioned in the high school parking lot, and the victims were positioned to simulate a car full of "distracted" teenagers that struck a second car. Student victims were then placed in two wrecked cars supplied by Blittersdorf Towing of Toughkenamon. The goal of the makeup is to help the audience see the reality of these crashes. The AG chapter of SADD - Students Against Destructive Decisions - helped coordinate the event and served as victims as well.įor this morning's simulation, students were made up with stage makeup called moulage to make their injuries realistic, including the use of stage blood. Such distractions can include looking at phones, listening to music, or having a car full of friends that might take away from the serious responsibility of driving. As the use of mobile devices has increased, the mock crashes have been modified to also bring in the risks of distracted driving - and how anything that can take attention away from driving can risk a crash, injury, and even death.
The WGFC has been holding mock crash demonstrations at the high school for decades - each designed to showcase the risks and potentially deadly results from drunk driving. The mock crash is designed to simulate a real, deadly car crash to help drive home the lessons of how dangerous distracted and drunk driving can be, particularly for young people. West Grove Fire Company firefighters and EMTs, along with area partners from Medic 94 and the Avondale State Police, conducted a very realistic mock crash at the Avon Grove High School this morning. Two simulated victims shown partially ejected through the windshield - this helped the students experience the significance of the crash scene.
