SANTA FE SPRINGS, Calif. (KABC) --
The "Every 15 Minutes" campaign stopped by Santa Fe High School, providing an eye-opening experience for students about the consequences of drinking and driving.
The two-day program had students sit through a simulated fatal drunk driving accident, involving their peers, as well as the aftermath and a mock funeral."It's a two-day program where we have actual scenarios. It shows the police response, it shows the actual accident, it shows what happens after that," said Dino Torres, director of Santa Fe Springs Police Services.
​
A real drunk driving victim was also brought in to share her story with the students.
​
"I never in a million years would have thought I would be one, paralyzed and two, speaking about being paralyzed in a drunk driving accident. You can't really prepare for an injury like this, but you have an option and you have a voice and you can say no to getting in the car," Chelsie Hill said.
Emotions were running high, and during Hill's speech, a student had to be pulled away after starting to hyperventilate.
To give the students an idea of how a tragedy can strike in a second, the ones involved in the campaign were also pulled from their families and friends for 24 hours. They were reunited during the mock funeral.
Multiple agencies participated in the campaign, including the city of Santa Fe Springs, California Highway Patrol, Whittier police, and the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office, among many others.
"I hope it leaves a lasting impact because it definitely left a lasting impact on me," senior Valeria Restrepo said.

George Lucas battles JJ Abrams over the fate of Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens! Who will win in this epic showdown between STAR WARS and STAR TREK?
Written and Directed by Joshua Hoh
Alyssa was a Co-Producer, 1st Assistant Director, and Visual Effects Artist for Star Trek Wars. In fact, the majority of the film crew consisted of California State University Long Beach students and alumni. The budget for Star Trek Wars was approximately $15,000, most of which was raised through Kickstarter. From pre-production to post-production, the film took about a year to complete, with filming taking place in late April and early May. For two of the six shooting days, Star Trek Wars was able to book a sound stage at Thunder Studios in Long Beach for the epic battle scene. The film premiered on December 2nd, 2015, at the Lakewood Pacific Theatre. The film had such a good turn out that it nearly filled one of Lakewood's largest theatres, with cast, crew, and fans in attendance.
