Mock Crash 2010

Each year, Lycoming County's Coroner's Office, along with local law enforcement and EMS, facilitates a "mock crash" for our county schools around prom and graduation time. The event includes staging an accident with student actors, involving law enforcement and EMS, using Geisinger Health System's Life Flight to actually carry one of our students off in a helicopter ride, and having Charles Kiessling, the County Coroner, address the entire student body. The message is clear to all students, specifically to those who drive: don't drink and drive, don't drink period because a life could be taken. All students in attendance appeared to be very engaged in this very real mock experience. Special thanks to Mr. Kiessling, our Loyalsock emergency staff, and the PA State Police on their assistance, and to Mrs. Stanzione and her SADD students for facilitating such an eye-opening experience for our students.  You can view more photos of the assembly by clicking here.
