DKC Crash Injures One

DeKalb County deputies responded to a report of a vehicle on its side in the 5600 block of County Road 16 in Butler. Police quickly found a man lying in a field. Twenty-one year old Zeke Houser of Hamilton was identified as the driver and only occupant of the vehicle. Investigators determined that the vehicle drove off the south side of the road, and wiped out a power pole. The vehicle overturned and came to rest on its side next to a corn field. Houser was taken to an area hospital and treated for arm pain and facial bruising. Investigators said alcohol was a factor in the crash.
