Driver taken to hospital following collision with tree.

AMBER TOWNSHIP — A 33-year-old Hamlin Township man was transported by ambulance to Spectrum Health Ludington Hospital following a single vehicle crash on Johnson Road west of Amber Road Sunday evening. Emergency crews were dispatched to the scene at 7:42 p.m. The Nissan Altima was eastbound on Johnson Road when it apparently struck a washout on the south side of the road. The driver then lost control and the car went to the north side of the road and struck a tree, causing the vehicle to be totaled. Alcohol was likely a factor, according to law enforcement on the scene.

Responding emergency units included Michigan State Police, Mason County Sheriff’s Office, Scottville Fire Department, Custer Fire Department and Life EMS.

The man did not appear to have life-threatening injuries.
