Author: Rick Hooper
NEWPORT-A Newport man died from injuries received in a two-vehicle accident on Highway 25-70 Wednesday evening.
Trooper Tyler Hall of the Tennessee Highway Patrol identified the victim as Everette Shoemaker, 55, of Evans Valley Road, Newport.
According to THP dispatch, Shoemaker was riding a homemade motorcycle on Highway 25/70 around 7:50 p.m. when a Dodge Caravan driven by Wilma Chrisman, 71, of Dandridge, crossed the centerline in a curve and struck the motorcycle.
Shoemaker, who was wearing a helmet, was reportedly thrown from the motorcycle and down an embankment. Chrisman's vehicle came to rest on the shoulder of the northbound lane.

Thursday morning after chatting with Junior Stinnettabout the auto business, I was headed back to the office when I got the newsabout Harold Shoemaker's tragic accident on Morristown Highway just past CockeCounty Pallet Co. Driving out I saw the state troopers doing reconstruction ofthe crash involving a van and Taylor's motorcycle. Randy Bethea's property isnearby, so I pulled in and talked with Marilyn Thomas and while we talked,Marsha "Butch" Haney, who lives along the highway, walked up. Shetold me that she heard the loud crash and looked out a window to see a tirefrom the van rolling along Hwy. 25-E and finally falling into her yard. Duringthe years, I had gotten to know Harold, who was a gentle and likeable fellow.
