With the assistance of the Calvert Alliance Against Substance Abuse
(CAASA), Maryland State Police, Chesapeake Region Safety Council, and several
local volunteer emergency responders, a mock crash will be conducted at Calvert
High School on Wednesday September 26th, 2018. Mock crashes are being conducted as a
continuing education program geared toward reducing the traffic fatalities,
particularly those involving young persons.
These tragedies continue to be the leading cause of death amongst young
people. Sheriff Mike Evans stated, “We continue
to take steps to reduce the accident numbers, but we need to continue to do
more.” He added, “Education is the key
to reducing these incidents.”
These events take a huge commitment from numerous members of the
community. In addition to those already

driving habits. For any additional
