About 200 Upper Lake High School students had the opportunity to see the consequences of driving under the influence thanks to a simulated car crash put together by the California Highway Patrol on Wednesday morning. The annual event, dubbed Every 15 Minutes, is a two-day program that challenges minors to think about drinking, driving, personal safety, and the impact decision making has on everyone. Pictured from left are students Colton Goetjen, who played the drunk driver, and Andrew Brackett who played an injured victim as a result. – tammy murga — lake county publishing
