Bridge closed due to Dutch Trauma helicopter
In the Netherlands we do not have an Air Ambulance.
The so called Trauma helicopters are used to deliver a trauma surgeon quickly to the accident site.
After stabislisation of the patients, these are almost always transported to hospital by road ambulance.
In case of traffic jams the helicopter can be faster to deliver a surgeon even in the inner-cities.
