COMSTOCK TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Three Comstock Fire vehicles and a Kalamazoo County cruiser were hit Thursday while protecting emergency crews tending to another crash, mirroring a collision that damaged a rig on Thanksgiving.

No one was hurt during the initial crash, but the driver of the box truck was taken to Borgess Hospital for treatment of minor injuries.
It happened during the morning commute around 8:30 a.m. Thursday, just east of Sprinkle Rd— half a mile from where Comstock Fire and Rescue Chief, Edward Switalski lost his life in 2017 while responding to a crash when he was hit by a passing vehicle.
The driver in this week's crash had lost control, hitting a line of emergency response vehicles and rolling onto its side.
You can see damage to the first responder vehicles in this instance was more extensive than the one on November 28, but — thankfully, just like that crash — none of the emergency responders were hurt.
