Every 15 minutes

Staged tragedy at the Kimball High School

A dramatic representation of a two-vehicle accident was staged for the students of Kimball High School on Tuesday, April 4.

"Every 15 Minutes Program," is a national program used to dramatically instill in students the potentially dangerous consequences of impaired and distracted driving.

Just prior to witnessing the dramatized accident, students at Kimball High School heard a multimedia presentation by a former Nebraska State Trooper.

Following the mock accident, students were debriefed by trained Regional West Medical Center staff, a minister and a trauma surgeon.

The timing of the presentation comes just as Kimball juniors and seniors prepare for prom and carries with it an impactful message for that reason.
