Many family and friends of the Med Flight crew members who were killed Saturday night near LaCrosse heard the tragic news for the first time. Many of those mourning are in disbelief.
All three members of the deadly crash were from the Madison area. Friends of the victims we spoke with on Sunday said they were more than just Med Flight workers. They were fathers, friends and mentors to the entire emergency medical community.
Madison Assistant Fire Chief Jim Keiken is in disbelief. “I was just sick,” he said. Keiken was among those who found out that co-worker, and friend, Dr. Darren Bean was killed in Saturday night’s crash. “I hoping the information was incorrect,” said Keiken. “And that you later find out he was safe.”
