A helicopter affiliated with NBC Los Angeles crashed while it was covering a fatal bus collision Tuesday evening, killing the photojournalist and pilot on board and one person on the ground, the station and officials said.
The aircraft crashed in a parking lot close to a self-storage facility in the community of Chatsworth, which is in Los Angeles’ San Fernando Valley, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department and news video on the ground from NBC Los Angeles.
The helicopter was operated by Angel City Air and affiliated with the news station, which broadcast that it had lost contact with those on board.
“We knew it was a news chopper, we knew we’d lost contact with our people out there, and we’ve just received the confirmation that, in fact, NewsChopper 4 went down just before 7 o’clock tonight in Chatsworth,” anchor Colleen Williams said.
