Four people have survived a medical helicopter crash in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, according to authorities. One of them was an infant, CBS Philly reports.
The medical chopper was heading to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia from Maryland when it crashed near the Drexel Hill United Methodist Church in the Drexel Hill neighborhood just before 1 p.m. Tuesday, CBS Philly said.
Officials called the crash a “miracle” landing because the area in which the helicopter crashed is heavily trafficked and no one outside of the chopper was injured.
“The best way to describe it is a miracle,” Upper Darby Fire Chief Derrick Sawyer told CBS Philly, commending the pilot for his “great command” of the helicopter.
CBS Philly’s Joe Holden reports the pilot suffered the most serious injuries.
