The Trenton Police Department reports a Trenton man was treated for minor injuries after a sport utility vehicle struck a utility pole and residence at 1201 East Ninth Street Wednesday.

Emergency medical services transported 46-year-old Ryan Paul Massey to Wright Memorial Hospital where a voluntary blood sample was later collected.

The SUV traveled west on Ninth Street before it ran off the road north, hit the utility pole, came back to the road, went back off north, struck the residence, and came to rest. The police note a witness said the vehicle was swerving badly prior to the accident. Massey allegedly admitted to taking several medications and attempting to retrieve a can of tobacco that had dropped to the floor.

The SUV received major damage to the front end, and the airbags on the driver’s and passenger’s sides deployed. There was minor damage to the pole and residence.

Citations for Massey are pending lab results.
