Five people had to be rescued from a car after it collided head-on with a palm tree, triggering the Crash Detection feature in a passenger’s Apple Watch.
According to KTLA, a single Hyundai Sonata with five occupants, crashed into a palm tree on the 15 Freeway at Jurupa Avenue in Ontario, San Bernardino. The car contained five occupants, and it was the Apple Watch belonging to one of the passengers that alerted local authorities.
“When officers arrived, they found a single vehicle into a tree,” a CHP spokesperson told KTLA, “[with] five parties trapped.”
Two of the people in the car were taken to hospital, one in what was described as minor condition, and one in moderate condition.
