Officials say the 35-year-old male suspect took it from the parking lot. He was spotted by a Baroda-Lake Twp. officer at the 16 mile marker, westbound on I-94.  

Police chased the ambulance south on I-94 at up to 90 miles an hour until stop sticks were deployed, which blew out a front tire.The director of Three Oaks Ambulance said they’re just happy no one was hurt and the ambulance is back in service.

The fire truck, with emergency lights flashing, was stopped at the scene of a car fire on the highway when the bus hit it just north of Hillsboro on I-35.  

The bus driver and several others aboard were slightly injured. They were treated at a local hospital and later released. The driver of the bus said he swerved to miss an 18-wheeler whose driver braked abruptly, Hill County Emergency Management Coordinator Tom Hemrick said.

 

A firefighter who was rolling up hose at the rear of the fire truck escaped injury, but the impact of the collision knocked the bus 200 feet.
