A St. Joseph man was injured in a late morning crash Wednesday in the South End.

A 58-year-old was injured after crashing a 1966 Ford Mustang on King Hill Ave. near Lake around 10:30 a.m.

“He just pulled out of Bill’s Auto Repair here, hit the accelerator rather hard, lost control of his vehicle, when it crossed the road, hit the embankment, hit the utility pole and rolled his vehicle,” said Scott Gary, Traffic Officer with the St. Joseph Police Department.

He said the man was taken by Ambulance to Mosaic Life Care for treatment but appeared to be doing okay.

“He’s got some lacerations to his arm,” Gary said. “But all things considered he’s in decent shape.”

Police directed traffic at King Hill and Lake for a short period of time while crews worked the accident.

Gary said the man will be issued several tickets.
