Tragic Intersection: A Deadly Collision in LA's Skyline Tuesday evening's helicopter crash in Los Angeles, which claimed at least three lives and sent one person to the hospital, is a stark reminder of the city's persistent struggles with air traffic safety.
The incident occurred near the site of an earlier fatal bus collision in Chatsworth, a suburban neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley.
The two incidents are eerily connected by proximity and type of vehicle involved: commercial vehicles were at the center of both crashes – a Metro bus and an SUV in one case, and a news helicopter in the other.
