This scene is not a drill. Actually, it’s a movie. Firemen find Jolenta Duvachelle dead-on-arrival at the scene of a horrific car accident last week, when Molokai High School acted out a mock car crash to show the effects of distracted driving, particularly drunk driving.

Jolenta Duvachelle is treated at the scene while her classmates look on.Michael McCutcheon, the high school’s resource officer, along with many other police officers, a few firemen and emergency medical technicians (EMT) were on hand for the filming of a mock car crash last week. Malia Lee, the driver’s education instructor, received grant money to shoot a short movie where six high school students drive drunk to a basketball game and crash.

Kaili Levi is also using the film as his senior project, to show the dangers of any distractions while driving, including text messages.

“I never say anything [when friends text and drive], but I should now,” he said.

MHS resource officer Mike McCutcheon helps beat up the van for the school's mock car crash.Driving the van is Lee’s ‘best’ student, Keaka Kamakana, who walks away from the crash. Passengers Brennan Lee-Namakaeha, Chenoa Ahuna-Kaai, Levi, and Kanahele Montizor also walk away, but Jolenta Duvachelle isn’t so lucky. The film is “as realistic as possible,” Lee said, and all emergency responders acted as if the crash was real.

The crash shows the real devastation, said Ahuna-Kaai. “Especially on Molokai. We’re a small island, everybody knows each other, and everybody cares about each other.”

The film will be played for the school before senior graduation.
