SEMINOLE COUNTY, Okla. - A medical helicopter has crashed in Seminole County.

All four people -- a pilot, nurse and two medics -- on board survived but may have suffered serious injuries, according to George Brown with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.

One of the helicopter's engines failed while flying to Okemah, forcing the pilot to search for an open field to land, Brown said.
