FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- The grim reaper is making the rounds once again at Valley high schools.

It's a drama known as Every 15 Minutes, a reminder that every fifteen minutes in the United States someone is killed in a car crash related to alcohol.

The performance involves a crash scene and student actors, including the young drunk driver who is arrested at the end.
