A LAWTON, MICHIGAN, MAN IS DEAD after he went on a car-banging spree Monday night, striking four other vehicles while speeding along a highway.
Shortly after 8 pm Monday, the crew of a Coloma EMS ambulance called 9-1-1 to report that they had just been struck by a car which then drove off at a high rate of speed. While a deputy was en route to the accident scene, two more calls came in from other drivers reporting that they, too, had been struck by a car that continued on, speeding away from the accidents.
When deputies arrived at the scene of the third accident, they were waved down my somebody who directed them to a fourth accident where a car had been flipped over. Not far away was the offending vehicle that had rolled over several times and ended up crashing into a garage.
The driver of the car, 58-yr.-old Everett Painter had to be extricated by the fire department, but he had already died at the scene.
Neither of the ambulance crew members were injured, but the man who was driving the 4th vehicle that had rolled over was hospitalized for back and neck pains. The Sheriff’s Department is still investigating the accident and looking for the explanation why the driver was behaving the way he was.
