Lansing, MI (October 14, 2023) - A Lansing man was arrested after the Dodge Charger he was driving crashed into a power pole on Saturday morning, injuring several people, said police.
Police and the Portland Fire Department responded to the crash just after 10:30 a.m. on Divine Highway, according to the Ionia County Sheriff's Office.
A 2019 Dodge Charger was headed south, traveling "at a high rate of speed and failed to negotiate the curve at Barnes," the sheriff's office said.
The vehicle left the east side of the roadway, where it struck a power pole. The vehicle subsequently rolled, ejecting two occupants from the vehicle. There was one other occupant, and the driver who sustained minor injuries, and one of the occupants is still receiving medical care.
The driver of the car, a 21-year-old man from Lansing, was later arrested for driving while intoxicated. No further details were released in the interim.
Our thoughts and best wishes for a full recovery are with the injured victims and their loved ones.
