COMSTOCK TOWNSHIP, Mich. — A motorist was killed Thursday morning after their vehicle was struck by a Comstock Township firefighter who was responding to a head-on crash on Sprinkle Road, Kalamazoo County Sheriff Richard Fuller said.

The fatal crash, which occurred between East Michigan Avenue and East Main Street, was reported five to 10 minutes after Comstock firefighters received a report of a serious head-on crash near the intersection of Sprinkle and East Main.

Fuller said the initial crash, which was reported at 8:25 a.m., caused traffic on Sprinkle Road to back up and a line of vehicles formed in the northbound lanes.
