Students, parents, teachers, police firefighters, hospital personnel, judicial officials, chaplains from around the region, a mortuary, the Office of the Medical Investigator, a LifeCare helicopter and other emergency personnel participated in the “Every 15 Minutes” exercise to highlight the irreversible tragedies that can occur when people text while driving, or drink or do drugs and get behind the wheel.
