Charges are pending after an accident that injured one person and severely damaged an apartment building on Rapid City's west side. Just before 6 a.m. Friday, officers responded to Doral Drive for a report of an injury accident that was discovered by a citizen. 

Officers say they found a white Subaru that had crashed into the Fairway Hills Apartment Building and found the driver lying in the snow nearby. Based on their investigation, police believe the crash happened around 1 a.m. but wasn't reported until almost 6.

The driver, identified as 22-year-old Matthew Burgard of Rapid City, was transported to Rapid City Regional Hospital with serious injuries. Charges against him are pending. Authorities say alcohol and overdriving road conditions were likely factors in the crash.
