A “blood-spattered” vehicle with P plates attached … an all too common sight on Queensland roads<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

October 26, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ambulance paramedics and police were called to St Mary’s Catholic College on Wednesday, but parents can breathe easy … there was no emergency.<\/p>\n

What was happening was a very realistic depiction of a fatal car crash, complete with “blood”, a “dying” passenger and a full complement of emergency personnel.<\/p>\n

The DocuDrama, which involved Year 12 students Olivia Frahm, Courtney Burrows and Kassi Maclaren, is part of the RACQ’s Secondary Schools Road Safety Program.<\/p>\n

Year 12 students watched from a nearby slope as the drama unfolded below them.<\/p>\n

In front of the crashed car lay Kassi, heaving and gasping for breath.<\/p>\n

Driver Olivia stumbles out of the vehicle, empty alcohol cans topple out with her.<\/p>\n

Front seat passenger Courtney rushes to help Kassi and dials Triple 0, despite Olivia’s urging her not to as she knows she’s been drinking.<\/p>\n

An ambulance roars in and the paramedics quickly examine Kassi. As her breathing slows and then stops, one of the paramedics pronounces the grim words: “Significant head and chest injuries, incompatible with life.”<\/p>\n

As the ambulance leaves with Courtney, Virgo Funerals’ plain white van arrives.<\/p>\n

Kassi’s “body” is shrouded, placed in a body bag and driven away.<\/p>\n

While this unfolds, Olivia is breath-tested and then arrested, handcuffed and placed in the police car.<\/p>\n

Constables Ellen Meagher and Jemma Grant advise her that she will be charged with dangerous driving causing death.<\/p>\n

This charge could bring up to 14 years’ jail.<\/p>\n

While the Virgos’ van pulls away, Constable Jemma Grant breath tests driver Olivia, and delivers the bad news … she’s over the limit and will be arrested<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After the DocuDrama, presenters from the RACQ took the students through a session exploring the activities and decisions of the victims prior to the car crash.<\/strong><\/p>\n

They were also presented with facts and statistics about “The Fatal Five”. ie not wearing a seat belt, speeding, fatigue, drink and drug driving, and distraction.<\/p>\n

The DocuDrama program will be running at Kingaroy State High School on Thursday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
