According Michigan State Police Director Kriste Kibbey Etu, Steensma is in serious but stable condition at Borgess Medical Center in Kalamazoo.

According to a press release from the Michigan State Police Wednesday, “Thanks to the quick actions of troopers at the scene and the excellent medical attention he received from ProMedica Coldwater Regional Hospital, West Michigan Air Care, and the trauma team at Borgess Medical Center, D/Sergeant Steensma is doing remarkably well for the seriousness of his injury,” Etue stated.
