One person was killed, two were injured and a driver was taken into custody following a head-on collision at the Frontier Mall parking lot Thursday evening. The incident provoked a major response from WPD Ambulance as well as the fire Department and the RCMP. Fortunately, though, it was all staged: it was actually the annual “Mock Accident” put on by WPD Ambulance as part of EMS week. The week included presentations to schools as well as a beef on a bun luncheon Friday at noon. The theme of the week, dedicated to community understanding and awareness of the role of EMS, was Our Family Caring for Yours. The accident victims were portrayed by high school students involved in Students Against Driving Drunk, helping send a message to young people about the dangers of drinking and driving.Photos by John Cairns
