Stolen Michigan Ambulance Crash Burns Four Injured

An ambulance was stolen from a crash scene in Novi, Michigan, with a paramedic and a patient still inside, leading to a police chase and a subsequent crash in Northville Township. The 33-year-old man who stole the ambulance ran a red light before crashing into another vehicle, causing the ambulance to catch fire and become a total loss. Four people, including the paramedic, the original patient, a person involved in the second accident, and the driver of the stolen ambulance, were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. MedStar, which owns the ambulance, tracked the vehicle during the incident and coordinated with law enforcement. The suspect fled on foot after the crash and was quickly arrested. MedStar CEO Kolby Miller expressed gratitude for the safety of the crew and the response from partner agencies while investigations continue with Novi and Northville police departments.
