(Michigan City, IN) - A driver who crashed into a utility pole in Michigan City this week is accused of being impaired by fentanyl.

 

Police said Ronald Cambridge, II, 26, of Michigan City was under the influence enough to be given Narcan. The crash happened Monday night at Franklin Street and Coolspring Avenue.

 

Michigan City Police said his Chevy Malibu was going through the intersection when the car veered into a NIPSCO pole.  Cambridge was not seriously injured, but a passenger complained of extreme pain to his head.  Police said Cambridge went from nodding off at the crash site to quickly being sober once given the Narcan.

 

The OWI charge was upgraded to a level 4 felony because of a prior conviction for causing serious injury while driving impaired.

 

Cambridge could face anywhere from a 2 to 12 year sentence.
