A speeding SUV rammed into a fire apparatus as the two vehicles entered an intersection in a densely populated urban area in Michigan. Both drivers were killed.

The accident occurred as the apparatus was responding to a fire in a vacant residential building. The impact ejected the driver of the apparatus and one of the firefighters. Three other firefighters in the apparatus were not ejected, but suffered injuries.
