On Friday, Oct. 12, the St. Bernard Sheriff’s Office joined forces with the St. Bernard Parish School System, as well as several other agencies, as they hosted “Consequence of Impact,” a mock car crash skit to show teens the impacts of impaired driving and making poor decisions like not wearing seat belts.
The event, held on St. Bernard Middle School’s football field, was presented to St. Bernard Middle eighth graders, as well as Chalmette High students in 10th through 12th grades.
Chalmette High School students acted out a fatal crash scenario in front of their peers, allowing the students to see first-hand how drinking, driving, and poor decisions affect everyone involved. Actors included Devin Cruice, Ronnie Prestenback, Scotty Thornton and Jaida Alphonso. Parents of the students also participated by playing parts in the scenario.
Deputies from the St. Bernard Sheriff’s Office Field Operations Bureau Traffic Division participated in the skit along with Louisiana State Police, St. Bernard Fire Department, St. Bernard Coroner’s Office, University Medical Center of New Orleans’ Level 1 Trauma Center, Acadian Ambulance, New Orleans EMS, St. Bernard Memorial Funeral Home, Charbonnet Funeral Home, and DND Towing. Ashley Merritt provided the makeup for the student actors who portrayed the crash victims.
