This event, presented every two years at Issaquah High, is an educational activity showing the dangers of driving, or being a
passenger in a vehicle, when poor choices are made. The activity takes place in two parts. First
students witness a mock crash and then move to a different location for
a de-briefing. The fire department, in conjunction with medical
personnel, law enforcement agencies and students, perform a realistic
portrayal of an alcohol-related car accident and the likely response of
emergency crews. Parts of the mock crash are graphic in nature due to
the realistic portrayal of the traumatic impact of the human body when
involved in a car accident. Parent volunteers also assist in the event. This program is funded by the Issaquah High PTSA.
