The PET/CT unit, being transported by tractor-trailer, was involved in a collision with a pickup truck that was traveling in slippery conditions. The machine erupted into flames as the rig overturned.
It was owned by Alliance-HNI Health Care Services of Owosso, which services more than 40 Michigan medical facilities.
