Whitestown Fire Deputy Chief of Operations Clinton Crafton wanted to show the horrors of a fatal accident involving teens who aren’t paying attention when driving. So he enlisted the help of family, friends, the Whitestown Fire Department, local businesses and organizations to create a video that will put viewers in the car. Using a camera attached to a mannequin dressed like a teen, Crafton took a 360-degree view of the scene with actors who were severely injured. One teen looks like she was not wearing a seat belt and crashed through the windshield. The others suffered major cuts from flying debris and glass. StatFlight helicopter is called in at the end of the video to take a victim to St. Vincent Hospital.
