By Beth Milligan | Jan. 17, 2020

A 22-year-old Cadillac man was arrested Thursday morning for drunk driving after running off the road and striking a propane tank in Solon Township.

Leelanau County Sheriff's Office deputies and Cedar Fire and Rescue personnel responded to a single-vehicle crash at the intersection of White Road and South Cedar Road at 11:42am. Authorities determined the driver of a 2001 Ford F-150 failed to stop for the stop sign at South Cedar Road, went off the roadway, and hit a 500-pound propane tank and some trees.

The driver, who was not injured in the crash, showed signs of intoxication. After an investigation, he was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving and lodged in the Leelanau County Jail.
