Two pedestrians were struck by a vehicle in front of Wayside Central at 1:57 a.m. Wednesday morning. 

Dwayne Wolfgang, a 30-year-old Mount Pleasant man was turning left off of East Broomfield Street onto South Mission Street and failed to yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk. Wolfgang was intoxicated with a blood alcohol level of 0.14, nearly twice the legal limit.

The pedestrians, an 18-year-old White Lake male and a 20-year-old Oak Forest Illinois female, were rushed to McLaren Central Michigan for treatment. 

Officers arrested Wolfgang for driving while intoxicated. Wolfgang has a previous citation for driving while under the influence. He was arraigned Wednesday at Isabella County Trial Court and is currently being held on a $10,000 bond.
