TOWN OF NEW GLARUS - A New Glarus man was flown to a Madison hospital after an accident early Saturday morning and later charged with operating while intoxicated, according to the Green County Sheriff's Office.

Taylor J. Disch, 22, was eastbound in the W6600 block of Wisconsin 39 in the Town of New Glarus at about 2 a.m. when his vehicle veered off the road into the ditch and hit a power pole. He wasn't wearing a seatbelt.

Responding deputies found alcohol at the scene of the crash, along with some drug-related paraphernalia, according to Sheriff Mark Rohloff.

Disch was flown by helicopter to the University of Wisconsin Hospital in Madison for treatment of his injuries from the crash. The vehicle was severely damaged and towed.

A hospital representative said Monday morning that Disch was in good condition.

Disch was later arrested on a first-offense charge of operating while intoxicated and cited for operating left of the center line, driving too fast for conditions, failure to wear a seatbelt and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was released with a court date.
