Three people were hurt when a medical emergency helicopter crashed on a busy section of Highway 50 in Sacramento, California, on Monday, according to the air transport company, even though there was no patient on board.
In a post on X, Sacramento Mayor Kevin McCarty stated that survivors were sent to a hospital for treatment after the plane crashed on the eastbound side of the highway close to the city’s 59th Street.
“We are in the process of determining the details of this situation, as well as the condition of the crew involved, who were all taken to area hospitals,” operator REACH told Reuters in an email.
The company provides services for the critically ill and injured across the western United States, its website shows.
