NEWPORT, R.I. (AP) — A 19-year-old woman was killed in a single-car car crash early Saturday morning in Newport, police said.
The woman was one of five people in a car that crashed around 12:50 a.m. near Brenton and Wickham roads, according to Newport police. The police department said the car struck a “stationary object.”
Newport Fire Chief Brian Dugan told The Newport Daily News that the car hit a utility pole guideline, a tree and a stone pillar. He said it wasn’t immediately clear who was driving.
Authorities did not immediately release the 19-year-old woman’s name. One other person in the car suffered minor injuries in the crash. Police are investigating the crash.
