Description
Last week, we were honored to partner with Lowell High School to present Every 15 Minutes to their students.
The Every 15 Minutes program was started in the 1990's by the California Highway Patrol. At that time, someone was killed in a drinking and driving crash every 15 minutes nationally. That statistic has changed to about every 45 minutes thanks to changes in policy and educational programs like this one.
However, impaired driving from alcohol, marijuana, drugs, and cell phones continues to kill residents in our county every year. Please drive safely – or get a ride.
Special thanks to @springfedmedia, @Oregon State Police, and @Lowell Rural Fire Protection District for their assistance.
