(Grand Beach, MI) - A Michigan City man is in the hospital following a serious car crash Monday afternoon. It happened on US 12 in Grand Beach.

Reports indicate a westbound car driving at a high rate of speed lost control, striking a fire hydrant, a large rock, several trees, a parked car, and a house.

Amazingly, the passengers—two New Buffalo men in their 20s—walked away from the accident. The driver, a 29-year-old Michigan City man, had to be extricated. He was taken to South Bend Memorial with serious injuries.

An investigation is ongoing, but alcohol is thought to have been a factor in the crash.
