Trinity E.M.S. Simulates Car Crash as Warning to Underage Drinking
Trinity E.M.S. has once again partnered with local schools to show the dangers of drinking and
driving by simulating car accidents. These annual programs are designed to educate juniors and
seniors about real life consequences during prom, graduation and senior week.
Each year an estimated 1,174 underage operators lose their lives as a result of alcohol-impaired
driving, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) Fatality
Analysis Reporting System (FARS).
“We work hard to make this simulation as realistic as possible,” said Trinity President John
Chemaly. “It is very important that these kids see what an accident looks like up close while
demonstrating that their actions have serious consequences. It’s a tough lesson to learn, but I’d
rather they learn it here than out in the real world.”
On May 24, 2016, representatives from the Chelmsford Police and Fire Departments, Trinity
E.M.S. and Dolan Funeral Home all participated in the 20th Annual Chelmsford High School
Mock Car Crash.
