HARTFORD, Mich. — Paramedics working a series of crashes involving more than 60 cars in Southwest Michigan saved a patient’s life on the way to the hospital.

Michigan State Police Public Information Officer Melinda Logan had said the series of crashes on both east and westbound I-94 around Hartford, exit 46, had claimed the lives of two people. But Logan corrected that total Sunday evening after paramedics had saved the patient during transport.

“Life-saving measures by paramedics en-route to the hospital resulted currently in a critical care status for one patient instead of a fatality,” Logan said in a press release issued Sunday evening.
