Rescue helicopter lands on highway

Rescue helicopter lands on highway : "The NRMA CareFlight helicopter was called to the scene, and landed on the roadway."

I read this and thought we are really lucky to live in an age and a country where helicopters can be dispatched to tricky road accidents and that they can actually land on the highway. It might have been an inconvenience and it may not have been what they wanted to do...land on the road, but they could do it. That the woman regained consciousness and could be transported by regulars means is fortunate. That the others at the accident could be treated there is good...but we have emergency services which just get out there and do their job. They do what it takes to get it right and keep us safe. Yes, they get it wrong sometimes, but they are under pressure. I am just thankful our emergency services will co ordinate all this stuff for us to give us the best possible chance of receiving the critical treatments.
