KALAMAZOO COUNTY, MI — A box truck hit four public safety vehicles as officials responded to a rollover crash on I-94, the Kalamazoo County Sheriff’s Office said.

At 8:36 a.m. Thursday, Dec. 12, the Comstock Fire Department and Kalamazoo County Sheriff’s Office responded to the crash eastbound lanes near the 80.5 mile marker, just east of Sprinkle Road.

While working the original crash, a 24-foot box truck struck three Comstock Fire Department vehicles and a sheriff’s office cruiser before rolling over and coming to rest.
