BREAKING: 1 Dead, 2 Hurt after Ambulance Drives Off Bridge

SAGINAW COUNTY, Mich. — Two paramedics are in critical condition and one man is dead after an ambulance crash Monday.

The accident happened at 6:25 a.m. Monday, Oct. 16  on Gary Road near Lincoln Road on the border between Maple Grove and Albee Townships.

WNEM reported that the ambulance went through a stop sign and crashed into a car, causing the ambulance to go off a bridge and fall 30 feet into a creek.

Police said the two paramedics in the ambulance and the driver of the vehicle were all transported to the hospital, where the driver of the vehicle later died.

The paramedics both suffered critical injuries and hypothermia from the water; their names have not been released.
