Western Mass News story featured in Apple product reveal

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WGGB/WSHM) - If you were watching Tuesday afternoon’s Apple product reveal you might have caught a Western Mass News cameo appearance.

While the company was promoting the features of the new generation of Apple Watches, a clip from one our newscasts was shown promoting the product.

It was from a story we first brought you back in January of a local man experiencing a medical emergency behind the wheel ultimately crashing his car into a neighbor’s backyard swimming pool.

Turns out the crash detection feature of his watch notified first responders of the situation which potentially saved the man’s life.
