@ JustCelia- Nice to finally meet the neighbors, but not under these circumstances. I am also wondering if everyone is ok, considering the helicopter was landing less than 50 feet from all of us....Prayers to all the families....

Never good when life flight and ejection are in the same news story. I hope everyone will be ok. Also wondering about the accident that occurred in Saline on Rt 12 at Industrial before 11:30pm on Thursday Oct 6? I was hoping to learn what happened. I drove past the scene at about 11:15 pm. I saw at least 2 firetrucks, several ambulances, as well as numerous police cars from various departements (saline, pittsfield, sherriff). It didn't look too good. Its a good time for everyone to rethink safety on the roads.

Is there an update on this story? It happened right in front of my house and it was terrifying. Very concerned to see if these people are all right. Investigating crews didn't clear out and open the road until after 8AM.
