A Reach medical helicopter crashed onto Highway 50 near Howe Avenue in Sacramento Monday evening, leaving three crew members — a pilot, nurse, and paramedic — in critical condition. Sacramento Fire officials confirmed that no bystanders were hurt and that the helicopter had just left UC Davis after dropping off a patient. One eastbound lane of Highway 50 has reopened near 59th Street, though the full reopening time is unclear. About 15 bystanders assisted firefighters before more crews arrived, and a TikTok video captured the helicopter’s descent.
