Two people were transported to the University of Michigan Hospital in critical condition after a two-vehicle crash in Lodi Township Friday afternoon.
Shortly before 2 p.m., the Saline Area Fire Department was dispatched to the 8300 block of Pleasant Lake Road, near Parker Road, for a rollover crash.
Saline firefighters used extrication equipment to free the vehicles from a vehicle. Both patients were transported to the hospital by Huron Valley Ambulance with firefighters assisting with patient care, Sperle said.
The crash was investigated by the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office and Michigan State Police. Parker Road was closed during the investigation.
Why aren't these stories followed up on? They seem to be used to draw readership but then are abandoned.
Overcast, with a high of 77 and low of 56 degrees. Overcast in the morning, patchy rain nearby in the afternoon and evening, overcast overnight.
Did they announce if they’re doing the 1 mile run down Michigan avenue?
If this mileage passes, has the City of Saline, for example, committed to reduce their millage by 2.0 that they no longer
need to send to the Fire Department?
It should be stated that this mileage is going to raise the taxes for many homes by $800 per year (based on a $250K SEV). There has been no commitment that the 2.0 mil that currently exists will be replaced even though it is alluded to. That is a huge increase.
The Fire Dept. likely does have unmet needs. We have been in meetings where the Fire Chief has spoken and our impression has been that he is not fully transparent, massaging information to present a case to achieve what he wants rather than solidly and transparently defining reality and options.
