From the community: Andrew HS students to get lesson in dangers of distracted driving

The Andrew High School Driver Education program is bringing in members of the Tinley Park Police Department to help emphasize the importance of distracted driving. The number one cause of death in the United States for teenagers is driving related accidents.

Officer Sanchez and Officer O'Hern will be sharing their experiences as they relate to distracted driving and its impact on teen drivers.

O'Hearn is a part-time instructor at the Northwestern University Center for Public Safety. He teaches Tinley Park police accident investigation and DUI enforcement techniques, is an in-house instructor for the Suburban Major Accident Reconstruction Team and developed a training seminar on reckless homicide and aggravated DUI for the Cook County State's Attorney's Office.

The presentations will take place each class period on November 26 from 8 am until 1 pm in the Performing Arts Center.
