DREXEL HILL, Pa. - The medical helicopter pilot who was injured in last week's crash in Drexel Hill was released from the hospital Sunday morning.
Danial Moore, 52, was at the controls of an EC-135 medical helicopter that was transporting an infant patient to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Tuesday afternoon when something caused the chopper to fall from the sky.
The helicopter came to a rest near the stoop of Drexel Hill United Methodist Church at the intersection of Burmont Road and Bloomfield Avenue.
Moore and his three passengers survived the impact and no property damage was reported. Moore suffered seven broken ribs, five broken vertebrae and a cracked sternum, according to his father.
