New Virginia Beach helicopter could save auto accident victims’ lives
Posted on Feb 25, 2010
Good news for auto accident victims seriously injured in Virginia Beach or nearby areas: there is a new $2.9 million helicopter available to take injured people to local hospitals in a fraction of the time that it takes an ambulance to make such a trip.
Emergency responders in the Virginia Beach area are excited to have a new useful tool at their disposal, and the chopper has already saved two accident victims’ lives. The expensive new helicopter was bought by the Virginia Beach Police Department with a combination of federal drug forfeiture money, city reserve money and leftover vacant position salary dollars.
The helicopter won’t be used exclusively for traffic crash victims; it is also intended to help fight crime. It is capable of shining high-intensity spotlights on fugitives and assisting in police chases. It can also be used to assist the fire department in fighting fires.
In order to save car crash victims, fight crime, douse fires and more, the helicopter is well outfitted. It contains state of the art medical equipment, upgraded navigation systems, floats for emergency water landings, an infrared system for locating cars and humans, a human hoist, and a powerful “night sun” flashlight.
Given the severity of some motor vehicle collisions in the Virginia Beach and Norfolk areas, it is reassuring that our emergency responders and the police department have access to this sophisticated life-saving tool.
