Traffic Checkpoints Needed
A KALAMAZOO, MICHIGAN, AMBULANCE AND SHERIFF’S CAR became the Boppo Bags for the club set early this morning.
While returning to quarters around 4 am, an ambulance stopped to check the well-being of a driver who had lost control of his car and ended up in a ditch. The 31-year-old Kalamazoo man driving that car was arrested for drunk driving, but while the ambulance was stopped, it was struck head-on by another drunk driver.
Police officials officials said that driver is an unidentified woman who was driving a black Honda Accord or Civic. She hit the ambulance so hard that a large portion of her car was torn off. The woman fled the scene and hit the ambulance several more times in the process.
A sheriff’s deputy responded to the car hitting the ambulance to investigate, but shortly after they arrived, just before 6 a.m., a third drunk driver smashed into the police cruiser, disabling the vehicle.
That driver, a 26-year-old Hopkins man, tried to run from officers, but was caught after a pursuit. He was charged with drunk driving and fleeing and eluding police officers.
The cops are are still looking for the female driver of the black Honda Civic or Accord that hit the ambulance. The car has substantial damage to the front end.
