Apple’s new Crash Detection and Emergency SOS features sprung into action this week after a car left a California road and plummeted 300 feet into a canyon.
The iPhone 14’s Crash Detection and Emergency SOS via satellite are features you really hope you’ll never have to use. But if you do, you’ll be mighty thankful for them.
Such was the case for a young couple in California earlier this week when their vehicle left the road and plummeted 300 feet into a canyon on the Angeles Forest Highway in Angeles National Forest, about 20 miles northeast of Central Los Angeles.
The Montrose Search & Rescue Team said the call for help came via both Crash Detection and Emergency SOS on a phone belonging to one of the vehicle’s occupants.
A helicopter was dispatched to rescue the male and female before flying them to hospital where they were treated for “mild to moderate” injuries.
