     A MPD officer pulled an unconscious driver from a car last evening following a crash on Commercial Ave., near Felland Rd.

     The officer learned the motorist had swerved into oncoming traffic, forcing one person to drive into a ditch, and sideswiping another car.
     The driver was taken to a hospital.
     He had been transporting several people, including a small child.
     Kevin J. Butler, age 51, was arrested for operating while impaired – fourth offence, with a passenger under the age of 16.
