Alcohol may be a factor in car driving into Delhi Township house, police say

VIDEO/PHOTOS: A car may have crashed twice early Thursday morning in Delhi Township, and deputies with the Ingham County Sheriff’s Department say they believe the driver had been drinking. Investigators say that a Chrysler sedan drove into a quadplex home at around 2:45 a.m. on the 2100 block of Philips Ave., near the intersection of Kathy Ct. The driver of the car— a 25-year-old woman from Lansing— crashed into the side of the home around 3 a.m., which was occupied by three adults and three children at the time. No one inside was injured, though someone was sleeping just a few feet away from the crash. However, a man who lives nearby captured a video of what appears to be the same car crashing into his trailer just moments before.

No injuries reported in Bronson Township house fire

PHOTOS: A fire sparked from a charcoal BBQ grill on the back porch caused $250,000 worth of damage to a home at 376 Prairie River Road on Thursday morning. Bronson Fire Chief Scott Wilber says his department was notified by Branch County Central Dispatch of the fire just before 6:00 a.m. after a passerby noticed flames coming through the roof of an attached garage. The passerby stopped and woke up the occupants. Wilber says the home had working smoke alarms, but they had not yet activated as the fire was in the attic area of the house and garage. He goes on to report that as the family was exiting the building, fire broke through the ceiling and walls which then caused the smoke alarms to activate. The Bronson Fire Department had 20 firefighters respond. The Burr Oak and Colon Fire Departments each provided one tanker truck.
