The tarps covering the demolished vehicles were pulled back, a 9-1-1 call was made, sirens wailed in the distance … and the 2018 edition of Escalon’s Every 15 Minutes program was underway. Put on for juniors and seniors at Escalon and Vista high schools, the simulated drunk driving crash is designed to realistically drive home the dangers of drinking and driving. By the time the smoke cleared, emergency crews had done their work and police had investigated, one student was under arrest, two were dead, one was paralyzed … and countless lives were changed forever.
