CLEVELAND, Ohio — A driver was seriously injured early Friday after he traveled off the edge of West 25th Street in Cleveland’s Ohio City neighborhood and overturned his vehicle.

The 51-year-old man was taken to MetroHealth, where police say they found him carrying suspected drugs.

The crash happened about 3:30 a.m. on the West 25th Street exit from the eastbound lanes of Ohio 2.

Police say the man lost control of his 2014 Hyundai, traveled off the side of the road, then struck a traffic light pole. The impact caused the Hyundai to spin around and roll over, police say. It struck a fence, tree and light post in the process.

The crash trapped the man in his car, forcing Cleveland firefighters and EMS workers to extricate him, police say.

Police have not released the driver’s name, nor his current medical condition.  No drug charges had been filed as of late Friday morning.
