Joel Tetreault of West Charleston died when the truck he was driving rolled over in Coventry Tuesday night. State police say that Tetreault, 57, was driving his 2002 GMC pickup south on Pine Hill at around 10 p.m. The truck left the roadway, went down a small embankment, and then went down a second embankment, which caused the truck to roll. Tetreault was thrown from the truck and pinned under the vehicle. The Newport City Fire Department assisted on the scene. The crash remains under investigation.
