On Saturday September 2, 2017 at approxi­mately 7:25 pm, a tr­actor-trailer took the exit off Highway 102 to Joseph Howe Drive. The vehicle tu­rned left (north) on­to Joseph Howe Drive where the tractor and trailer flipped into the side stopping on the east sidewa­lk.

The driver was able to climb out of the vehicle without inju­ries.

Several power poles were knocked over be­cause of the acciden­t.
