ALL TOO REAL- Ventura County firefighters and paramedics, above, extract a student volunteer from a car on the California State University Channel Islands campus during a staged drunk driving car accident Wed., March 12. The presentation was part of the "Every 15 Minutes" program, which helps raise awareness on high school and university campuses of the dangers of drunk driving. At right, Yovani Lopez, an actress in the accident recreation, brings a gruesome realism to the presentation, as her blood-stained hand smears the car door.
