FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) - Fort Wayne police closed South Clinton Street near South Side High School early Wednesday morning while crews investigated a crash.

A little before 4 a.m. Wednesday, police said a man hit a large tree and then crashed into a fence around the 3300 block of S. Clinton St.

The driver was taken to the hospital in serious condition. Police believe speed and alcohol might have been factors in the crash.

Police officers recovered a stolen gun from the vehicle, according to Fort Wayne Police Department spokesperson Officer Chris Felton.
