Niagara County Sheriff's deputies arrested a 20-year-old Lockport man and charged him with DWI following a one-car crash on Robinson Road on Sunday.

According to the police report, Michael A. Neuland of Saunders Settlement Road was driving at a high rate of speed westbound on Robinson Road at approximately 4:30 Sunday when he lost control of his vehicle, striking a utility pole.

Neuland had to be extricated from the vehicle due to the damage done when the driver's side of the car struck the pole. He was transported to the Erie Count Medical Center by the City of Lockport Ambulance.

Patrol went to ECMC to interview Neuland and administer sobriety tests, two of which he failed. No further tests could be adminstered "due to the physical condition of Neuland," who refused a blood-alcohol content test. Patrol filed paperwork to have his blood checked at ECMC, however.

He was ordered to appear at Town of Lockport Court on Feb. 18. His car was towed and a 12-hour hold was placed on it.

A female passenger was treated and released at ENH-Lockport, according to reports.
