Blinker Used

Rhode Island State Police are currently investigating recent reports a turn signal, or "blinker," was used to indicate the intention to change lanes on Interstate 95 South through Providence this morning.

If initial reports are correct, this marks the first recorded instance of the use of a turn signal in the Providence area since retiree Henry Gentile of Cranston left his blinker on accidentally for 6 miles in January of 1983 while on a trip to the liquor store.

More information as it becomes available.
