Helicopter Hero Saves Teen After Crash | Dover News

When an 18-year-old girl’s car flipped after hitting a school bus, her life hung in the balance—until Delaware State Police’s flying emergency room, Trooper 4, landed on the highway and saved her with lifesaving blood transfusions and critical care. This airborne medical marvel, born from a 1985 trooper-medic program, combines law enforcement with emergency medicine to deliver care where seconds matter. Beyond medevacs, these pilots and medics also handle high-speed chases, search-and-rescue ops—and even switch from pursuit to rescue mid-mission. Peyton Harter’s miraculous recovery, including attending prom and graduation months later, proves how vital this state-funded service is—freeing families to focus on healing without worrying about costs.
