Authorities say a Lincoln man has been hospitalized after he drank acetone and crashed his minivan into a tree in an apparent suicide attempt.

Lincoln Police Capt. Jim Davidsaver told the media that the accident occurred near the Holmes Lake Park entrance in southeast Lincoln a little before 4:30 p.m. Monday.

The man was taken to a hospital, where he underwent surgery. Davidsaver says the man suffered little or no injury in the crash, but the acetone severely damaged his body.

Acetone is a solvent used to dissolve other substances, including paint, plastics and glues.
