The Newport Plain Talk

(c)2012 NPT PHOTO BY NELSON MORAIS A tractor-trailer reportedly knocked a new concrete post over when the vehicle made too sharp of a turn from North Street to East Broadway, on Wednesday, Nov. 7, at about 1:10 p.m. No one was injured. The driver did not stop his 18-wheeler even when Maggie Mowery, owner of Kay's Bridal and Formalwear, a shop on the corner, tried to flag the driver down, she said. On the right is Newport Police Department patrolman Robby McMahan. Partially hidden is Joshua Bolin, Mowery's son. Mowery and Bolin said they heard a loud boom when the tractor-trailer clipped the four-foot tall post.
