COBB – A collision between two cars early Saturday morning resulted in occupants of both cars being sent to the hospital.
The California Highway Patrol incident logs reported that a vehicle hit a deer on Highway 175 in Cobb at Loch Lomond at 1:38 a.m.
That vehicle then collided with a second vehicle, blocking the roadway, the CHP reported. One of the vehicles flipped over, trapping a person inside.
One of the vehicles involved was reported to be a Jeep, according to the CHP logs.
CHP and Cal Fire responded to the scene, where one person was reported to have major injuries and another moderate injuries.
The victim with major injuries was transported by REACH helicopter to Sutter Lakeside Hospital at 2:24 a.m. The CHP did not immediately report where the second crash victim was transported.
Both parties were subject to blood draws, commonly done following serious crashes to look for signs of alcohol or drugs in the system.
No further information about the incident or the victims was available early Saturday.

"As the helicopter would fly", aren't there major medical centers which would be better equiped, with multidisiplinary teams, to deal with "major" injuries? For the price of the helicopter ride, ($15,000 - $20,000?) take me to UCD, UCSF, even Santa Rosa Memorial.
P.S. I wasn't there and I'm not second guessing the decisions someone made, I would just like to know what goes into making a decision like that?
