Apple iPhone 14 series launched a couple of months prior with a slew of emergency SOS features to ensure it users’ safety. We covered various reports of this already helping people, and now, the latest news has found that the Find My feature has also helped saved a woman that was involved in a car crash.
For those unaware, the latest generation of iPhones come with Crash Detection and Emergency SOS via its Satellite connectivity features. These have helped people stranded or in other life threatening accidents. But in the latest report, rather that the crash detection, the Find My feature has helped save a woman that was a victim of a car crash. The accident took place in San Bernardino, California after a night of Christmas gathering.
The accident had her vehicle fall 200 feet down a hill on the side of the road. Although, her family had noticed that she had yet to make it home and was unresponsive. Thus, they used the Find My feature to track down her location. They found that her car was in a location over the side of the highway on the map and immediately contacted emergency services to get the relevant authorities involved.
The story was first broken out by the San Bernardino County Fire Department in a Facebook post. The woman had sustained severe injuries and had spent the night in the vehicle following the crash. Firefighter paramedics had to use advanced life support interventions and a rope system to retrieve the injured woman. Unlike the Crash Detection and Satellite SOS features, almost every iPhone universally supports the Find My feature. So another life was saved thanks by an Apple product.
