KCSO Investigates after Fugitive Crashes into Ambulance
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich: Around 12:00 PM today a sedan sideswiped another vehicle and crashed into an American Medical Response (AMR) Ambulance at the intersection of Leonard & Scribner. A short time earlier the sedan fled from KCSO deputies during an attempted traffic stop near Cedar St and Clancy. The traffic stop was immediately called off due to the suspect's driving. The suspect was a 30-year-old Grand Rapids man who deputies were attempting to arrest on a felony warrant.
Deputies located the suspect attempting to leave the crash scene after injuring paramedics and was trying to move his vehicle as police were surrounded him. A pepperball gun was fired into the suspect's vehicle and the suspect then complied with commands to exit the car. He was arrested and evaluated at a nearby hospital and eventually lodged at the Kent County Jail.
Two AMR staff who were driving the ambulance were taken to an area hospital and were treated and released. The driver of the vehicle that was sideswiped was uninjured.
