GRAND RAPIDS FIRE APPARATUS STRUCK FOR THE 3rd TIME THIS YEAR!

We have new information on a crash that shut down part of US-131 in Grand Rapids Monday night.

The deputy fire chief says it’s the third time in less than a year that someone has hit a fire truck driven by his crew.

On Monday a semi jack-knifed trying to avoid slower traffic and hit the left side of the ladder truck.

Back in October a driver trying to pass slow traffic clipped that same truck.

In February a distracted driver hit the same crew in a borrowed truck from Walker.

The deputy chief says because of all the crashes he’s working with M-DOT to figure out different ways to let drivers know about accidents on that stretch of US-131.
