According to neighbors, a semi driver hit and knocked down a no u turn sign and light pole at the corner of Oakland Avenue and 1st Street in Oakland. The accident occurred around 7:30 a.m. Sat., May 3rd. NPPD was called to take care of the pole and the wires in the street. Greg Mockenhaupt of Oakland saw the truck drive by his home after the alleged incident. “He was driving very fast up the hill. He seemed to be in a hurry to leave,” Greg stated.
