GULF SHORES, Ala. -- Gulf Shores High School has partnered with Crawley Productions for an upcoming car crash reenactment – “Operation Scared Safe” – to be held April 11th at 10 a.m. on the school’s campus. The purpose of this safety event is to demonstrate the devastation that can result from drinking and driving, as well as, common distractions while driving, such as texting or talking on the phone.
It will consist of local emergency service vehicles responding to a crash scene with student actors portraying injured and deceased passengers.
South Baldwin Community Theater actors will portray adult family members arriving at the scene. Crawley Productions is donating the videography for the event. “Operation Scared Safe” is a precursor to the students’ prom which will be Saturday.
Other community agencies participating in this event include: Gulf Shores Fire Rescue, Gulf Shores Police Department, City of Gulf Shores, Orange Beach Police Department, Orange Beach Fire Department, City of Orange Beach, Medstar, Pine Rest Funeral Home, Baptist LifeFlight, and Luv Me 2 Times. Adult actors volunteering in this event include Marsha Kerrigan, Jennifer Dawson, and Steve Heath. Local State Farm agent, Frances Holk-Jones, is sponsoring this safety event. The videos produced by Crawley Productions will be dispersed to public schools throughout Alabama.
