The Club Car, as it proceeded south across Main Street, was struck by a 2020 pickup driven by a 33-year-old Clarkston man who was passing the stopped passenger car in the right lane of travel.
As a result of the collision, the Club Car left the roadway to the right, ejecting two of its rear-seated passengers.
The 16-year-old driver of the club car along with a 15-year-old female passenger, 8-year-old male passenger and 16-year-old male passenger all of Brown City sustained injuries in the crash.
The 16-year-old male passenger was transported to Marlette Hospital by Marlette EMS for treatment of his injuries. The remaining occupants were transported to Marlette Hospital by personal vehicles.
The 8-year-old male passenger was later transferred from Marlette Hospital to Flint Hurley Hospital.
The 33-year-old male driving the truck was arrested on the scene for operating while intoxicated by Deputies and lodged at the Sanilac County Jail pending charges.
