Lackawanna County students taking pledge to stay safe for prom night
COVINGTON TOWNSHIP, LACKAWANNA COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Students at a local school are taking a pledge to stay safe on prom night. Fellerman and Ciarimboli Law presented their safe prom pledge to hundreds of students at North Pocono High School ahead of their prom on Friday.
The program is put on to explain the dangers and consequences of drinking and driving.
Students heard sobering stories of people their age who lost their lives driving under the influence or were killed by those who were under the influence.

'It's really important, especially for the high school community. I think a lot of kids don't even think when they act in this manner, so just to have like a visual representation and having two attorneys come in, it's really, really important for these kids to see what happens,' North Pocono High School Senior and SADD Club Officer Ella Jardin stated.
Fellerman and Ciarimboli attorneys do this every year to reach as many students as they can with this message.
The CDC says more than 40% of drivers who die in drinking and driving crashes are younger than 25.

Operation Yellow Jacket is protecting construction zones
(WBRE/WYOU) — Work zones are popping up all across the commonwealth, and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) and state police want drivers to know they are watching. 28/22 News explains how Operation Yellow Jacket is cracking down on unsafe driving. If you think it's just a PennDOT work truck on the side of the road, think again. Behind the wheel might be a state trooper, and if you're breaking work zone laws, they'll be ready to call you out. Construction season means narrower lanes, slower speeds, and a greater risk for workers on the road. That's why Operation Yellow Jacket is back. 'The Pennsylvania State Police will continue working closely with PennDOT throughout the coming months. Together, we remain committed to making Pennsylvania roadways safer for everyone,' Trooper Bob Urban, community services officer for Pennsylvania State Police, explained. Firefighter burnout concerns grow in Dunmore 'Although we still see work zone crashes occurring, we have seen the trend decrease thanks to the enforcement assistance of the PA State Police,' Lonell Tomaine, acting assistant district executive maintenance, PennDOT Engineering District 4, said. State troopers sit inside parked PennDOT vehicles, blending into the active work zone, and watching for dangerous driving behavior, such as speeding, tailgating, and distracted driving. 'When these infractions are identified, the trooper coordinates with other marked patrol units to conduct traffic stops,' Trooper Urban explained. In 2024 alone, Operation Yellow Jacket led to 319 traffic stops, 419 citations, and 86 warnings. 'These enforcement efforts highlight our commitment to protecting both motorists and highway workers alike,' Trooper Urban said. Remember, state law requires drivers to slow down, turn on headlights, and pay attention in work zones. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
