On Saturday, Jan. 28, at 1:37 a.m., the Crawford County Sheriff’s Department received a report of a one-vehicle crash in the village of Mount Sterling. The crash occurred in the front yard of 402 N. Main St.

A 17-year-old boy from Wauzeka was operating a 1999 Ford Ranger northbound on North Main Street when he left the right side of the roadway.  The boy’s vehicle drove over the curb and struck a tree head-on in the front yard of 402 N. Main St. A citizen called the Sheriff’s Department after the crash indicating that the driver was trying to flee from the scene. A Crawford County deputy arrived on scene and made contact with the driver who stated he was heading home and that he was not sure of how he crashed. The driver said he thought he was in the village of Eastman.

The driver was put through standardized field sobriety testing. The result indicated that he was driving while impaired. Also found in the vehicle were discarded cans of Busch Light, one of which was half full under the driver’s seat.

The driver, who was alone, was uninjured in the crash. The vehicle sustained moderate damage. Assisting on scene was Bob’s Towing. The driver was arrested for first offense OWI and issued a citation for open intoxicants in a motor vehicle.
