Software update sends Aero Med pilot to wrong scene

OAKFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — A software update might be to blame for Aero Med getting lost while trying to find a crash scene Thursday evening.

“I was trying to figure out where they were and why they weren’t arriving at one point,” Oakfield Township Fire Chief Sam Peterson explained. “They said, ‘We should be above your scene’ and we were all looking around not seeing anything.’ So we knew they had to be in the wrong place.”

Peterson said he can’t speculate on how the two patients transported to the hospital may be doing had Aero Med made it to the scene, but nothing could be done to save the person who died on scene. He explained the person who died was extricated first and worked on immediately.

Another person involved was listed in critical condition, while the third patient suffered non-life threatening injuries.
