R-P mock crash hits hard

“In 2008, 11,773 people were killed in alcohol-impaired-driving crashes. These alcohol-impaired-driving fatalities accounted for 32 percent of the total motor vehicle traffic fatalities in the United States.”
“The 11,773 fatalities in alcohol-impaired-driving crashes during 2008 represent an average of one alcohol-impaired-driving fatality every 45 minutes.” – National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, National Center for Statistics and Analysis
As the weather warms, the school year winds down, and area youth grow eager to hang out with friends, Rushford-Peterson’s Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) chapter offers a sobering reminder about one dangers of driving while intoxicated. “Just that one night can affect so many lives. One drink can have so many consequences,” notes group member Rebecca Munson.
In a massive coordinated event, the group held a mock crash Friday, April 26. The concept grabs the attention of youth, giving them a shocking visual to think back on when opportunities for poor decisions lurk. R-P hasn’t held a mock crash in what one member estimated was six to ten years. Now, the district is looking at staging an accident once every four years so all students will have the opportunity to see it once during high school.
All students in grades 9-12 were bussed out to Enterprise Drive on the city’s north end, where City of Rushford workers had moved several large sections of bleachers and blocked off the street. As a pre-recorded segment of crash actors Emma Bauer, Isaiah Bunke, Cody Manfull, Mariah Mueller, Phil and Rachel O’Shaughnessy played over speakers, coordinators held tarps over the two vehicles. Then, with a help from a gust of wind, they pulled off the tarps. A few students gasped, some chuckled, but within minutes all were silently captivated.
The crash was to depict Manfull, Mueller, and the O’Shaugnessy siblings in a green van, with an intoxicated Phil O’Shaugnessy at the driver’s wheel. In the other vehicle, a tan sedan, were Bauer and Bunke. All clad in formal prom attire, the actors were splashed with faux blood and each had a particular set of injuries. Rachel O’Shaugnessy’s role was one of a young girl, ejected from the vehicle and lying lifelessly on the ground, having died on impact. Bauer’s body was slung across the hood of the sedan, through the windshield of the vehicle.
