A medical helicopter crashed on a highway in Sacramento on Monday evening, critically injuring three people aboard, including a woman who had to be rescued from underneath the aircraft, according to officials.
The helicopter had taken a patient to a hospital and was on the way back to the place it had been dispatched from when it experienced an “in-air emergency” just after 7 p.m., said Captain Justin Sylvia, a spokesperson for the Sacramento Fire Department.
A pilot, nurse and paramedic were taken to hospitals and were in critical condition, he said. No one on the highway was injured, he said, calling that “mind blowing” given that the helicopter crashed in the center of the highway.
