A 26-year-old Minden man was arrested on charges of driving under the influence and without due care after a Thursday morning collision in Genoa.

The vehicle could be heard speeding down Jacks Valley Road just before the 6:20 a.m. crash. It turned onto Genoa Lane and ran into a power pole in front of the Pink House.

One of the occupants of the vehicle reported rib injuries.

It was the second collision in 14 hours. Around 4:15 p.m. Wednesday a rear-end collision south of Topsy Lane resulted in a search a Honda Civic whose driver took off when authorities arrived.

The driver of a pickup involved also left the scene, perhaps to return the Honda driver’s information, but yielded to deputies at Cradlebaugh and 395.
