In 2005 Western Berks Ambulance began work on creating a video to stress the importance of seat belt use to teenagers. After over a year of work by a lot of organizations and individuals the video has been mass produced and is ready for distribution.  The video, fewer than five minutes in length, chronicles the feelings of family and friends of Tabitha Impink. Tabitha, who was a senior at Tulpehocken High School, was killed in an accident after forgetting her seatbelt; something that Tabitha always remembered. Interviews with the family and friends shows how special Tabitha was and the impact that her untimely death had on everyone. You can visit Tabitha's web site for more on her story.
