Crash-detection alerts from an Apple Watch helped save victims in Ontario car crash

This is a screen grab of a car crash from KTLA news.

Early Tuesday morning, in Ontario, California, a car crashed when it slammed into a tree, injuring at least two. It’s a nightmare for the victims, but reports indicate that it could have been worse, since Apple crash-dection features, which are included in the Apple Watch and iPhones, sent alerts to police. 

In fact, according to a story from KTLA news, the “collision-alert technology was instrumental in helping officers locate and provide aid to the victims.” The report goes on to say that “the crash occurred just before 2 A.M. on the 15 Freeway at Jurupa Avenue and involved a single white Hyundai Sonata with five occupants, law enforcement officials said.”
