A medical helicopter crashed onto Highway 50 Monday, leaving three crew members, including Suzie Smith, in critical condition, with family calling for prayers. The crash occurred shortly after a patient drop-off at UC Davis Medical Center.

The family issued thanks to first responders, bystanders and Reach Medical, calling their actions `truly amazing` after rescuing Suzie Smith, who was trapped under the wreckage.
Calls and messages have come from across the country and even the world as the family of Suzie Smith asked for prayers for all three on board, while Mary Beaver said she "just started crying" and called them "amazing people who do this every day."
The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash's cause, and miraculously no drivers on busy Highway 50, Sacramento were injured.
