The teens friends drove the girl to the Taco Bell next to Lake Central to seek help, witnesses said.

Another air ambulance transport to a Chicago hospital. The level of medical care needed to treat and save lives is not available from any of the regions hospitals. just saying.
I do not know the specifics of this case. The likely scenario is that the EMTs consulted with a local ER trauma doctor who advised that in the best interests of the patient sending them to a Chicago hospital that has the specialists actually in the hospital would be best. No local small town hospital could ever maintain a full staff of ALL the possible specialists that could be needed around the clock. Just sayin.
Yes, it’s very True, we have No Level One Trauma Centers ( hospitals) any near NW Indiana! So if you or your loved one needs serious medical attention, you are out of luck! Many people don’t realize this…..we all need to demand that a level one hospital is available to us……let’s wake up , before it’s too late!
I thought Methodist hospital in Gary was trauma one
