🌱 Shipyard Litter + N. Military Highway Accident Causes Death

Good morning, neighbors! It's me again, Sean Peek, your host of the Norfolk Daily.

First, today's weather:

Plenty of sunshine. High: 48 Low: 33.

Here are the top stories in Norfolk today:

1. Shipyards pump millions of dollars into the local economy by providing revenue for cities and jobs for the locals, but residents of the Berkley section of Norfolk say the people who fix ships are breaking their neighborhood. After 10 on Your Side first exposed the problem, BAE Systems and Colonna's Shipyard confirm crews have made multiple trips to the neighborhood to pick up litter on the streets. Larry Skyle, president of The Beacon Light Civic League, applauds the effort. (WAVY.com)
2. A man has died after being struck by a vehicle on N. Military Highway on Tuesday afternoon. On November 23, 2021, around 5:30 p.m., police were called to the 500 block of N. Military Highway for the report of a vehicle accident involving a pedestrian. When officers arrived, they found the pedestrian, later identified as Howard E. Covert, 70, of Norfolk, suffering from serious injuries. (Press Release Desk)
