SUMMARY:Mock Crash: STAAR & EMS
DESCRIPTION:Live Demonstration to Highlight Dangers of Distracted Driving on Saturday\, June 14\nSTAAR Theatre at Antoinette Hall is proud to partner with local and state emergency services for a powerful and emotional live demonstration during this year’s Sundrop Festival during an EMS Mock Crash at the STAAR intersection (Madison and First Street) on Saturday\, June 14 at 2 p.m. \nThe event is designed to bring awareness to the tragic consequences of distracted driving\, especially among young people. This real-time\, highly realistic simulation will involve Pulaski Emergency Services\, Tennessee Highway Patrol\, Pulaski Police Department\, Pulaski Fire Department and other first responders. The public is encouraged to attend and witness how quickly lives can be changed by a moment of inattention. \nStreet Closures and Scene Set-Up\nStreets will close at midnight on Friday\, June 13\, to allow for preparation. Two wrecked vehicles (with all broken glass removed) will be placed overnight in a T-bone collision layout at the intersection. \nLive Mock Crash Event Timeline\n\n10 a.m. – Call time for participating actors\n1:30–1:45 p.m. – Actor placement at the crash site\n2 p.m. – The live emergency event begins (approx. 30 minutes)\n\nDuring the event\, camera crews\, drones and a PA system will capture the action. A jumbotron will be available to help festivalgoers on the other side of the square view the entire scene. Tennessee Highway Patrol Sergeant Stephen Ellis will narrate the scene live\, step by step\, for educational impact. \nThe mock crash scenario is as follows:\nA teen boy\, distracted while pulling up music on his phone\, runs a red light and T-bones a car with a mother and two children. One child will be pronounced dead at the scene\, and the other is in critical condition. The mother and teen drivers are injured but conscious.
