Eastern Indiana Police Track Antifreeze to Car in Crash
Eastern Indiana police say they tracked down a man accused of crashing into a utility pole while driving drunk by following a trail of leaking antifreeze to his car.
Richmond police were called Monday when a driver fled the scene after crashing his car into the pole and cutting power to more than 40 homes and businesses.
Police say the driver fled from the car when they arrived, but was captured following a foot chase.
The man faces three misdemeanor charges, including drunken driving. Police say his blood-alcohol content was .22 percent, or nearly three times Indiana’s legal limit.
