An air ambulance crash on a busy highway last night caused chaos and left three individuals seriously injured. The incident occurred when the helicopter, returning from a hospital after dropping off a patient, faced an emergency around 7pm on Monday. The pilot, nurse, and paramedic on board were rushed to the hospital in critical condition. Miraculously, no other individuals on the highway were hurt, despite the helicopter crash-landing in the middle of the road, which amazed officials. Rescue crews worked tirelessly to free a woman trapped under the wreckage, requiring a collective effort to lift the aircraft and rescue her.
Witnesses observed white smoke billowing from the downed helicopter, with images showing a long line of traffic along the road. The eastbound lanes of Highway 50 were closed as emergency services continued their operations at the scene. REACH Air Medical Services, the operator of the helicopter, expressed concern for all those affected and stated that they are investigating the situation and the condition of their crew members who were transported to local hospitals.
