ALLEGAN COUNTY, Mich. — A Texas man was charged Tuesday with three counts of reckless driving in connection with an ambulance rollover crash in Wayland Township that sent two first responders to the hospital earlier this year.
Gustavo Gomez-Escobedo, 36, a resident of Rio Grande City, Texas, was arraigned Tuesday in the 57th District Court with reckless driving causing serious injury, according to a news release.
The charges stem from a crash that occurred May 20 on US 131 in Wayland Township after he reportedly fell asleep behind the wheel and hit the back end of the ambulance, causing it to roll into a ditch and land on its roof, the release states.
