Mock accident scene, an Eye opener for Teens...

Five friends are riding together to school, when the driver receives a text and for a split second becomes distracted. She doesn't see the bicyclist on the side of the road. The driver looks up but it's to late. The car and the bike collide, throwing the bicyclist onto the pavement and front passenger through the window on to the hood of the car. Now only sirens can be heard as rescue workers sped to the horrific site.

Fortunately, of a this scene wasn't real. It was a mock wreck that was staged for Pine Lake Prep for students by the Mooresville Police Department as a part of a week-long program focused on the consequences of distracted driving and impaired driving. Along side the Police Department, Fire Department, and the Mooresville Rescue Squad, Empire Towing Corp. was asked to join in and make this an Eye Opening scene for young drivers, and we are so sure it did!

   

DNA Kits and The Mooresville Race City Festival 2011:

In May of 2011 Empire Towing Corp. Teamed up with the Mooresville Police Department and Christina Holbrooks (a Jr. Mooresville High School) and put together DNA Kits for children of all ages and there parents. Each kit was designed with the Empire Logo on the front along with the Police contact information! Inside was a form that you filled in your child's information with a lock of hair and a DNA swab kit, so if ever a child goes missing the DNA is saved and given to the police to help get the children back! The kits were given out at the Mooresville Race City Festival. This was a street event where the entire town could come down and enjoy music, food and street venders. We all had a blast and can't wait for the next Street fair.

Several students in the senior drama class at Pine Lake Preparatory participated in a “life-like” mock wreck last Friday morning. Fellow classmates watched rescue workers go through the motions to safely get the “crash victims” out of the car. This is the second year the school has been awarded grant monies for the school’s Project Ignition campaign, a campus-wide campaign that aims to educate students about the dangers of distracted and drunk driving. The student led campaign is overseen by junior Megan Halbedl, who will be using the research from the campaign for her senior project.
