CRASH program expands to courts and towns statewide
The CRASH program continues after a one year suspension of operations. It aims to reduce drunk driving through 10 hours of lectures, films, and group discussions led by coordinator Jack Isselhardt. Programs show facts on alcohol’s effects, riding safety, and the link to fatalities, with new sessions planned and two classes already held in Hennington en route to wider adoption.
