Michigan tied MSU at Munn Ice Arena tonight 2-2, and EMU lost a game they should have played better in Miami 65-52, but it all pales in comparison to a local EMS first responder who lost her life out near Chelsea today. Cheryl Kiefer, 23, of Brooklyn, was a part-time emergency medical technician for Jackson Community Ambulance, which is operated by HVA in conjunction with Foote Health System in Jackson.
From the Ann Arbor News:
Berry said Kiefer and a partner were westbound on I-94 at Kalmbach Road on their way back to their base in Jackson County when they saw a pickup truck spin out of control and roll into a ditch on eastbound I-94 near the Washtenaw County line.
He said the pair called the crash in to police, then swung over to the eastbound side of the road to help.
Chelsea Fire Chief James Payeur said Kiefer was in a ditch on the south shoulder of the road, helping the woman in the truck, when an SUV spun out on the snow-covered road and rolled over onto Kiefer.
YCD would like to thank Cheryl's family and her friends for her selfless sacrifice. She gave her life helping someone else in need and of all the ways to leave this world there are none more noble.

How incredibly sad. My thoughts are with her family and friends and also the people who tragically and inadvertently contributed to her death. May they all eventually find peace.
