1 dead after ambulance hits car, goes off bridge

From The Associated Press:

MAPLE GROVE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) —  Michigan State Police say the driver of a car has died and two emergency workers are injured after a crash that sent an ambulance off a bridge and into waist-deep water of a creek below.

State police spokesman Lt. David Kaiser says the Mobile Medical Response ambulance was heading back to the station for shift change early Monday when it apparently ran a stop sign in Saginaw County and collided with the car. He says two emergency workers inside were hospitalized in serious condition.

Kaiser says the car’s driver 21-year-old Dustin Sharp of Burt died following the crash.

Sheriff William Federspiel tells WNEM-TV the department sent a dive team to the bridge, which crosses Misteguay Creek. Firefighters from Maple Grove and Albee townships also responded.

An aerial image posted on WJRT-TV’s website showed an ambulance on its side in the water. The crash happened near the border of Maple Grove and Albee townships, about 70 miles northwest of Detroit.
