LA helicopter crash live: One dead as chopper ‘goes down’ in Chatsworth
Roughly two hours before a helicopter crash-landed in the San Fernando Valley of northern Los Angeles, an SUV collided with the side of a Metro bus, resulting in “numerous injured patients”, as per the Los Angeles Fire Department.
As per an LAFD press release: “Firefighters are extricating the trapped patients and assessing all passengers on the bus.”
Crews added that one person was found dead on the bus. Another person was killed after they were ejected from the bus during the crash. Six others have been rushed to nearby hospitals, fire crews confirmed, with two of those now in a critical condition. At least one person was trapped inside the wreckage, with crews working to rescue that person.
Aerial footage showed that the SUV appears to have almost completely driven through the bus during the crash, which took place at the intersection of Nordhoff and De Soto Avenue.
As emergency crews continued working at the scene of the fatal bus crash, a helicopter then went down nearby, resulting in one death after the aircraft burst into flames.
