An 18-wheeler, owned by Covenant Transport, is blocking two lanes of traffic at the intersection of Queen and Vernon after it struck a utility pole early Friday afternoon. Sgt. Craig Jarman of the Kinston Department of Public Safety, pictured, was among the officers responding to the incident, which knocked out power and traffic signals for a few intersections. The incident closed the intersection; it is not expected to be reopened for six to eight hours.
