While some teens may have heard about the accidents, some may not be aware of just how bad one can be. Especially when alchohol is involved. On Wednesday night, hundreds of students, along with parents and youth leaders, got a first-hand demonstration of the horror which occurs in such an accident. A mock crash was held at the old Bi-Lo parking lot. The program was sponsored by: the BCHS chapter of SADD, Bleckley County Safe and Drug Free Schools, the Cochran Police Department, the Bleckley County Sheriff’s Department, the MGC Campus Police, Heartland EMS, Cochran-Bleckley Rescue unit, Hons Automotive, Mathis Funeral Home, and the Cochran Fire Department.
