GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — A driver is hospitalized in critical condition after the station wagon he was piloting struck a house early Sunday morning.

At 3:41 a.m. Sunday, the Grand Rapids Police Department and medical personnel responded to a report of a traffic crash with injuries at Fuller Avenue and Watkins Street SE. Upon arriving at the scene, officers discovered that a Volkswagen Passat had struck a telephone pole and then a residence.

Officers located a male occupant inside the station wagon who had sustained life-threatening injuries. He was transported to an area hospital where he was listed in critical condition Sunday. Police have not identifed the male who was injured.
