Police believe alcohol was a factor in a one car accident this morning in Mecosta County.

The accident occurred on 220th Ave north of Perry Ave.

Deputies say a 54-year old Sydney man lost control of his vehicle and hit the embankment at the entrance of Michigan Pain Consultants. It is believed that the accident occurred due to prior damage on the vehicle that happened during a previous accident that the driver fled from.

The driver was taken to Spectrum Health Big Rapids for non life threatening injuries.
