Menomonie Police were busy Sunday morning as they responded to two different vehicles crashing into two different buildings within 45 minutes of each other.

Police say the first crash happened just after 1:30 Sunday morning when an SUV driven by Justin Link of Menomonie crossed oncoming lanes of traffic on Broadway Street and crashed into a retaining wall at Cellular Communications.

Police say after investigating Link's car they found a partially used can of Blast Off, which is commonly abused by inhaling it. Link was transported for head injuries and was arrested for OWI.

Just 45 minutes later police responded to a complaint of a vehicle crashing into a home on 1903 5th Street West.

Police say the residents were home at the time, but no one was injured, although the building was extensively damaged.

The vehicle was driven by Cory Shepard of Menomonie, who left the scene, but later called police. He was arrested for OWI and hit and run.
