A medical emergency helicopter crashed on Monday along a busy stretch of Highway 50 in Sacramento, California, injuring three people, according to its operator, REACH Air Medical Services. No patients were on board at the time of the crash.
The helicopter went down near the city’s 59th Street exit on the eastbound side of the highway, prompting a swift emergency response. Sacramento Mayor Kevin McCarty confirmed in a post on X that the survivors were transported to nearby hospitals for treatment.
“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,” REACH said in a statement.
REACH provides emergency air transport for critically ill and injured patients across the western United States.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation, with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Sacramento fire authorities expected to release further details. CBS News first reported the incident.
