SAGINAW TOWNSHIP, MI — An ambulance responding to a potential emergency medical call crashed into a black Pontiac Grand Prix at the intersection of State and Center today, police said.
The crash happened at 4 p.m. and the scene was cleared by 4:45 p.m.
A Mobile Medical Response ambulance was responding with sirens on to a medical call while southbound on North Center, turning left on a red light onto State, when it collided with the westbound Grand Prix heading through the intersection, Saginaw Township police said.
The driver of the Grand Prix may not have seen the ambulance because of traffic and its lane position, police said.
A witness at the scene said the drivers of both vehicles got out to apologize for the accident right after it happened.
The driver of the Grand Prix, the single occupant, was taken to a local hospital for treatment of minor injuries. Two medical responders and a medical student in the ambulance were not injured, police said.
The intersection was partially blocked by the ambulance that was on its side and the car that sustained front-end damage.
A second ambulance responded to the medical call, police said.
The crash remains under investigation, police said.
