Michael Guitreau is still in the ICU at Memorial Hospital at Gulfport one day after his motorcycle collided with a vehicle on his way to work. The 28-year-old firefighter and father of four was traveling south on Mississippi 603 near Kiln-Waveland Cutoff Road on Wednesday when he struck another vehicle. Guitreau spent much of Wednesday in surgery as doctors removed his ruptured spleen and worked on both of his legs, with more work still to be done. Bay St. Louis Fire Chief Monty Strong said Thursday afternoon Guitreau remains on a ventilator, although they're hopeful he'll be taken off the system after another surgery on his left leg Friday.
