MedFlight had to land unexpectedly in the town of Rutland Friday after an equipment warning light appeared during a hospital-to-hospital patient transfer.
Dane County sheriff’s deputies responded to the precautionary landing in a farm field off Wisconsin 138 and Star School Road at 11:39 a.m., the Sheriff’s Office reported.
The patient and crew on board were never in jeopardy as the helicopter continued to function normally.
Stoughton EMS transferred the patient to a Madison hospital.
