A PennSTAR medical helicopter made an emergency landing on the front lawn of a home in Fort Washington around 7:45pm on Monday, May 19.
According to NBC10’s coverage, three crewmembers were on board at the time of the landing. No serious injuries were reported.
“We got very lucky tonight, it’s a miracle,” Whitemarsh Township Police Chief Christopher Ward said. “The pilot did an amazing job, from all accounts. As out of control as it was, he controlled it into an area and was able to put it down without striking — luckily for us — any homes, any vehicles or any people.”
The helicopter is stationed at Wings Field in Blue Bell (Whitpain Township).
