Delta County teen involved in accident

ESCANABA, MI--   A Gladstone teen avoided serious injury, after he crashed his car in Escanaba.

The Delta County Sheriff’s Office says the accident happened Sunday around 2:10 a.m. on US-2 near the Buck Inn.  Deputies say the 16-year-old male fell asleep at the wheel.  The vehicle went off the road, hit a culvert, flipped over, and landed on its wheels.

The boy was taken to St. Francis Hospital with minor injuries.

Deputies say alcohol was not a factor in the crash, which remains under investigation.
