SKANDIA TOWNSHIP, Mich. — An ambulance on an emergency run crashed into a logging truck along an Upper Peninsula road, killing the patient and one of the three ambulance crew members, state police said.
The truck was stopped Monday on the shoulder of U.S. 41 in Marquette County’s Skandia Township waiting for traffic to clear when a Delta County ambulance heading to Marquette General Hospital rear-ended it, police said.
Investigators found no evidence of braking or loss of control before the collision.
Ambulance patient Carrie Roberts, 38, of Escanaba, and crew member Lisa Hansen, 32, of Cornell, died at the scene. The ambulance driver, Natalia Jauquet, 25, and another crew member, Ryan Peterson, 29, were hospitalized. The truck driver was uninjured.
