Bridgeport, Michigan – May 13, 2025 — Jordan Airen Albro was arrested today shortly after 8:00 p.m. by the Bridgeport Police Department. Authorities confirm the arrest stemmed from an outstanding warrant for Operating While Intoxicated (OWI), directly related to a harrowing crash that took place in September 2024.
The crash, which stunned the Saginaw community and garnered widespread attention on social media, occurred on the evening of September 7, 2024, at 2818 Beechwood Avenue near the intersection of Beechwood and Hess. According to reports from the Saginaw Police Department (SPD), Albro lost control of his vehicle, which rolled over, struck a house, and subsequently erupted into flames.
In a bizarre and dramatic twist, Albro was ejected from the vehicle onto the roof of the house. First responders arriving at the scene were met with a chaotic and dangerous situation. Firefighters had to deploy a ladder to reach Albro on the roof. Eyewitnesses noted that he attempted to stand up and move before emergency crews could reach him, moments before the wreckage burst into flames.
Adding to the gravity of the incident, a newborn baby was discovered under debris from the crash inside the home. Miraculously, the child was found unharmed, though understandably shaken. The home’s structural integrity was compromised, and fire crews from the Saginaw Fire Department (SFD) worked quickly to contain the flames.
The community was left shaken by the severity of the crash, the presence of an infant in the debris, and the clear indication that alcohol may have played a factor in the accident. Just weeks later, on October 3, 2024, a warrant was officially issued for Albro’s arrest, charging him with Operating While Intoxicated—a serious offense in the state of Michigan.
Nearly eight months after the crash, Albro’s freedom came to an end when Bridgeport officers apprehended him without incident. He was immediately taken into custody and is expected to face a range of consequences, including criminal prosecution and possible civil liability for the damages caused to the home and its occupants.
Social media videos of the incident circulated widely at the time, contributing to public outrage and community concern. Three videos—each capturing various angles and moments from the crash—were posted online and remain visible as stark documentation of the night’s chaos:
The original post about the incident described the event as follows:
