On May 11, 2017 Columbia County STOP-DWI coordinated with local agencies to sponsor a mock crash at Ichabod Crane High School in Kinderhook.  Sandy Laplante, a DWI victim, spoke with the students in an assembly before the mock accident.  Our thanks to go out to all the agencies involved in making this demonstration a huge success.
