At least one patient was transported by medical helicopter from the scene of a single-vehicle crash Monday afternoon in Hempfield.

Emergency officials responded to the intersection of Baltzer Meyer Pike and Hurst Road just before 4 p.m. for a report of a car that had gone off the roadway with one person trapped.

The car left the road and became stuck in a wooded area.
