EAST CHINA TOWNSHIP, MI— A St. Clair County man has been seriously injured after his vehicle crashed head-on into an ambulance, officials said.
St. Clair County sheriff's deputies were called at about 5 a.m. Monday to River Road north of Hathaway in East China Township on a report of a head-on crash between two vehicles, authorities said.
