A firefighter was struck while working at a crash involving a sheriff's deputy in Grand Traverse County Wednesday.
Blowing snow caused whiteout conditions when a driver crashed head-on into Grand Traverse County sheriff's deputy's patrol car on M-72.
Firefighters used extrication tools to free the deputy from his vehicle, Grand Traverse Rural Fire Chief Theo Weber told the Record Eagle.
Fire Capt. Tim Arbenowske was struck in a secondary accident.
"He is in stable condition and expected to make a full recovery," Weber said.
A second patrol car and a fire apparatus were also struck and damaged.
The apparatus remains in service, but sustained serious damage.
