DES MOINES, IA : Man in critical condition after crash at Prospect Park on Thursday, 21st January 2021

A man is in critical condition after Des Moines police say a car crashed into a tree in Prospect Park on Thursday afternoon.

Police told KCCI that a single-vehicle crashed into a tree at the 1100 block of Prospect Road around 3 p.m. The man inside was taken to a local hospital. Prospect Road from Hickman Road closed for several hours but reopened a little after 6 p.m.

Investigators believe speed played a role in the crash. They say the road did not appear to be iced over at the time of the incident. However, with winter weather in mind, they do have a reminder for drivers who are on the roads in the evening.
