Deputies investigated a three-vehicle crash Tuesday afternoon at Bray and Willard Roads in Arbela Township after a 17-year-old Gladwin girl stopped at the sign but failed to yield. Her SUV was struck by a 49-year-old Vassar man’s car, which then forced it into a vehicle driven by a 49-year-old Clio man. All three drivers were injured and a juvenile passenger in the SUV suffered serious injuries requiring medical transport. Officials arrested the teen on suspicion of operating while intoxicated and causing serious injury.
