The Newport Plain Talk

(c)2010 NPT PHOTO BY PAUL MEADOR No one was injured in an unusual accident on Friday on Main Street. Stanley Cutshall, 67, of Drive Way, in Newport, said when he went over a bump on Main Street at Woodlawn Avenue at about 12:15, his boat and trailer broke loose from the hitch. The boat and trailer then went about 30 yards and struck two vehicles: a 2000 Pontiac Montana seen here, that was driven by Leslie Marie Brew-Munn, 17, of Iris Place, in Newport; and a 2007 Nissan Frontier driven by Charles Ford, 47, of Highway 73, in Newport. Patrolman Heather Lawson said each of the two vehicles hit by the boat/trailer sustained damages over $400. The boat also suffered over $400 in damages, she said. The front part of the trailer with the boat hit the Pontiac seen here and slid up the front, cracking its windshield.
