Police believe alcohol may have been a contributing factor to an overnight crash in Niles.

The crash happened shortly after midnight on Wednesday and only involved one car.

Police say they were investigating a separate incident when a car sped past them on Route 422 by the Eastwood Mall with no headlights on. The car then crashed into a post.

Police went on to say the driver was injured, but refused medical treatment. The driver was taken away by police following the accident.
