MONTAGUE — The White Lake Ambulance Authority will need to replace one of its response vehicles after a Friday night accident on US-31.
The WLAA and local police were responding to a crash when, according to an interview WLAA director Jonathan Degen gave WZZM-TV, another car pulled into the left lane in front of the ambulance too quickly for it to avoid a crash. The police car responding to the scene, in turn, rear-ended the ambulance.
Degen said there were no serious injuries, but the ambulance was totaled in the crash. Luckily, White River Township trustee and WLAA board member Laura Anderson said during Tuesday’s board meeting, the ‘box’ part of the vehicle will not need replacement, only the chassis.
The WLAA also approved a new budget at its most recent meeting, Anderson said, which will include a new carport at its Whitehall location.
“Please be careful when emergency vehicles are responding to emergency calls,” the WLAA said in a Friday night Facebook post. “Slow down and pull to the right as soon as possible.”
