Police responded to the scene of a vehicle crash in the Town of Lodi on New Year's Day, where a truck was found impaled on a guardrail and the driver is suspected of operating a vehicle while intoxicated.
The Columbia County Sheriff's Office received a report from a passerby of a single-vehicle crash on Lindsay Road near Highway 60 in the Town of Lodi just before 3:30 p.m. on New Year's Day.
