A 21-year-old Austin man was arrested and is in the hospital after colliding with a Charter Communications van Thursday morning.

Tyler Naatz was arrested on DWI after his white Chrysler 300 slammed sideways into a Charter van at the 1900 block of Sixth Avenue NW at 12:09 a.m. Thursday, according to Police Chief Brian Krueger.

Krueger said the Charter employee was at his own home working on his computer when he heard a loud crash. The employee went outside and saw Naatz’s car sideways in the street. Naatz’s car had severe damage to the driver’s side door, while the Charter van sustained damage on its front and rammed into a utility pole, which snapped off at its base. Krueger said the van was legally parked before the accident took place.

The employee didn’t see anyone around at first and called police, according to Krueger. When police arrived, they found Naatz, who had a strong odor of alcohol coming off him.

Naatz was arrested for fourth-degree DWI and transported to Mayo Clinic Health System in Austin. Formal charges are pending with the Mower County Attorney’s office.
