BARRINGTON -- An 18-year old man crashed a car into two utility poles and took down a tree this morning on Nayatt Road, less than 10 yards from where two Barrington teens were killed in a car accident two years ago. The man, whose name the police have not yet released, was removed from the car -- a silver Dodge Charger -- and taken by rescue to a local hospital. His injuries did not appear life-threatening, Sgt. Thomas Poirier said this morning. The accident took place around 2:35 a.m. The road was still closed as of 7:10 a.m. from Bluff Road to Clarke Road. Journal staff writer Bill Malinowski, who lives on Middle Highway about a mile from the accident, was awoken shortly after 2:30 a.m. by the sound of a car traveling past his house and skidding near the top of Middle Highway and Nayatt Road. He heard the car turn left, which is east, and accelerate again. Seconds later, he heard a loud boom and called the 911 emergency number. The police and fire rescue were at the scene within minutes. The car had snapped one utility pole in two and knocked down a second pole. It also downed power lines and a tree that was lying completely across the two-lane road. About an hour after the crash, a crew from Narragansett Electric was busy trying to clear the downed tree and restore the utility lines. In May 2005, Zachary Stiness and Michael Neubauer were killed after they lost control of their car and crashed into a tree a few feet from the scene of this morning's crash. -- Journal staff writer W.

Leila | August 6, 2007 7:47 AM link Barrington teen. Shiny new expensive sports car that mommy and daddy probably bought him (probably paid extra for the Hemi...). Alcohol involved? Would anyone be surprised? At least it looks like his seatbelt was on since his injuries were non life threatening. Greg | August 6, 2007 7:49 AM link What is it going to take for these teens to learn? I just do not understand. How many more teens have to die or be injured before they grow up and start valuing life? Kelly | August 6, 2007 9:36 AM link Two problems: 1. An 18 year old out at 2:30 in the morning 2. An 18 year old driving a powerful vehicle. T | August 6, 2007 1:25 PM link Post a commentPlease be civil. Vicious comments, personal attacks and profanity won't be published.
