As CBS Philly reports, the helicopter crashed in Delaware County Tuesday afternoon after taking off from Maryland to transport the infant to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. The crash location was in Drexel Hill, in a high-traffic area near the Drexel Hill United Methodist Church. Still, no one outside the helicopter was injured.
