PORTAGE (WKZO-AM) — Portage Public Safety says a male driver escaped injury, but won’t escape justice after he sheared off a power pole near South Sprinkle Road and Winthrop Avenue, blacking out the Meridith Street area on Portage’s east side.
The single car crash occurred just after 3 a.m. Saturday.
Investigators say the 22-year-old was northbound when he left the roadway and took out the pole, totaling his 2013 Chevrolet Malibu.
He was arrested for driving while intoxicated and for having a suspended license.
The suspect was booked into the Kalamazoo County Jail.
