Sheriff Richard Behnke said deputies were called shortly before 10 p.m. Saturday to the 57000 block of Patterson Hill Road. Investigators said 19-year-old Michael Schlup was attempting to turn into a driveway and his vehicle struck a tree.

Schlup was transported to Borgess Lee Hospital for medical concerns. Authorities said it’s possible drugs or medical-related issues may have been a factor in the incident.
