Grandville fire truck struck on I-196, one injured

On Wednesday night, a Grandville fire truck was rear-ended while responding to an earlier incident on eastbound I-196 near Chicago Drive, resulting in minor injuries for the driver of the second vehicle. At approximately 8:06 p.m., the fire department was assisting a driver whose box truck had rolled over when another vehicle struck the parked fire truck, which had its lights on. Michigan State Police indicated that speed and alcohol may have contributed to the crash, which is currently under investigation. Thankfully, no fire personnel were injured in the incident, but police are reminding drivers of the importance of moving over for emergency vehicles. This incident is part of a broader concern in Michigan, where multiple accidents were reported due to a winter storm. Authorities have emphasized the legal requirement to provide space for first responders on the road.
