Police say around 3 a.m., 19-year-old Matthew McCollum of South Bend lost control of his car and hit a tree. McCollum was heading north on Sunnyside crossing Bronson when it happened.
McCollum and a passenger, 37-year-old David Jastrzembski of South Bend, were both trapped inside.
Police say McCollum suffered leg and foot injuries, and Jastrzembski appears to have broken his leg and dislocated his knee.
Both were taken to the hospital.
