According to a report filed by Newport Patrolman James Weeks, a 1990 Nissan, driven by Ben Rex McGaha, 77, of 638 Woodlawn Ave., Newport, was turning left off Broadway into the White’s Food Store parking lot when it collided with a 1985 Corvette, driven by Ronald Stewart, 57, of 102 Fortune Way. Both McGaha and Stewart were taken by ambulance to Baptist Hospital of Cocke County. Rudell Ralphine McGaha, 74, a passenger in the Nissan, was pinned in the wreckage for a short time.

She was flown by Lifestar Air Ambulance to University of Tennessee Medical Center in Knoxville, where she is listed in critical but stable condition.
