BALTIMORE -- The condition of the sole survivor of a fatal crash of a medevac helicopter last month has been upgraded, a hospital official said.
Jordan Wells' condition has been upgraded to serious but stable, said Cindy Rivers, a spokeswoman for the R. Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore. The 18-year-old still has many months of recovery ahead of her.
A medical helicopter carrying Wells and another victim of a traffic accident went down in a park in District Heights last month. Of five people aboard, Wells was the only survivor.
The crash prompted state emergency response officials to announce a review of operations for Maryland's medevacs by a national panel of experts. Consultations will now be required before air transport.
