West Bend High Schools along with West Bend Police Department and other community agencies will be holding a “Mock Traffic Crash” today, May 18, 2017 at 1 p.m.

During the morning, announcements will be read to the students regarding the program and “Mock Obituaries” about the students who are participating.

The “Mock Traffic Crash” will have students from the high school ROLE PLAYING a crash caused by a drunk driver.  In this “Mock Crash” the West Bend Police Department, West Bend Fire Department, Flight for Life helicopter, Washington County Sheriff’s Department, Washington County Medical Examiner, St. Joseph’s Hospital and Myrhum-Patten Funeral Home will be part of the event.  You will hear sirens and see the police and fire departments responding with their equipment and working around the “Mock Crash Scene”.  This is not a real accident, it is a teaching tool used to show the students the consequences of driving drunk.  No one will be hurt when you see them loading people into the ambulance or Flight For Life helicopter.  

This event will take place on the corner of River Road & Decorah Road across the street from the school.  Traffic will be redirected to go around the “Mock Traffic Accident” scene.

If you have any questions or concerns, please call me at 262-335-5545.

Sincerely,
 

Tracey Conners

Principal
