PENNFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) - A 25-year-old man was rescued from his wrecked vehicle, and could face charges for causing the crash.

The rollover accident occurred at 8:45 a.m. Monday on N Drive North near McAllister Road in Pennfield Township.

The male driver from Albion was temporarily trapped in the vehicle, and freed by passersby, according to the Calhoun County Sheriff's Office.

Rescue personnel arrived at the scene and took the man to a hospital.

Charges are being sought against him for driving while his license was suspended and operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol.

The passenger in the vehicle -- a 21-year-old woman from Marshall -- suffered minor injuries and refused treatment at the scene. She was cited for being in possession of open intoxicants in a motor vehicle.
