A 41-year-old Rapid City man is facing multiple charges after crashing into a light pole Sunday in Traverse City.

Grand Traverse Sheriff's Office deputies and Grand Traverse Metro and Northflight personnel responded to the scene of the single-vehicle accident at 2:25pm Sunday. The driver had crashed into a light pole in a parking lot near South Airport Road and Garfield Road. He was taken to Munson Medical Center for treatment of minor injuries.
