Apple's Crash Detection helped the police show up quickly after an early morning accident in Tasmania injured five and killed four horses.
A Ford Ranger towing a horse float crashed into a tree stump on the island state of Tasmania, Australia setting off the iPhone 14's Crash Detection feature allowing the police to reach the accident site in eight minutes. Thanks to the quick arrival of the cops the five occupants of the vehicle, who ranged in age from 14 to 20, were all transported to Launceston General Hospital. One of the injured was already released.
The Apple Crash Detection feature is available on the iPhone 14 series and the Apple Watch Series 8, the Apple Watch SE , and the Apple Watch Ultra . Crash Detection uses sensors and algorithms to detect when a sedan, minivan, SUV, pickup truck, or any other passenger car you're riding in has been in an accident.
When an accident is detected, the iPhone and Apple Watch will play an alarm and show a message on the screen. If you only have the phone, a slider will appear on the display allowing you to quickly call emergency services. If you have both the iPhone and Apple Watch, the slider appears on the timepiece only and if you make the call to emergency services, the audio goes through the Apple Watch.
