Bishop LeBlond High School will take part in an alcohol-related crash simulation on Monday. Participants will create a simulated crash to be viewed by the student body, and afterward, local community leaders will provide a verbal reinforcement of the lesson. They’ll also show a brief video produced by the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

The simulation will include student actors, wrecked vehicles, emergency response vehicles and a LifeNet helicopter ambulance. The event is planned from 10 a.m. until noon,in the west parking lot at the school.

The presentation afterward will be in the school’s Grace Gymnasium. Producers hope to provide education and awareness to students on the importance of not drinking and driving, as well as using their seat belts every time they get in a vehicle.

Partners in the production include the St. Joseph Safety Council, Mosaic Life Care, Missouri Highway Patrol, and LifeNet.
