Newburyport: A single car hit a curbing at Caldwell's Corner gas station on Merrimac Street in Newburyport before hitting a telephone pole across the street from the Park Lunch about 6:45 last night. Witnesses guessed the vehicle was going 90 miles an hour as it was heading east. Police and fire contained the scene until a reconstruction crew arrived. Bryan Eaton/Staff Photo
