A helicopter crashed in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles on Tuesday night near the location of a previous deadly Metro bus crash. The incident occurred near the 9100 block of N. Mason Avenue, according to Los Angeles firefighters. The aircraft appeared to have landed on top of two shipping containers and several parked vehicles in the area. After the fire from the crash was extinguished, firefighters and police erected a canopy over one body found at the scene. LAFD Captain Branden Silverman confirmed that one person was found outside the helicopter when it crashed and was declared deceased on the scene. It is still unclear how many people were inside the aircraft at the time of the crash. Officials described the helicopter as "pretty well destroyed" and said they would need to examine the wreckage to determine the number of victims and identify the helicopter. The crash occurred near a self-storage facility in the Chatsworth community, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department and news video from NBC Los Angeles. This incident followed a separate accident earlier in the day when two people were killed and six others injured in a collision between a Los Angeles Metro bus and a passenger vehicle on Nordhoff Street. Firefighters worked to free trapped individuals and assess the condition of the bus passengers. The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board have been contacted to assist with the investigation, according to firefighters. Los Angeles police are also looking into the cause of the crash. It is not yet clear whether some of the people killed in the crash had been on the helicopter. Another individual was taken to the hospital, but their condition remains unknown. The helicopter crashed into a parking lot, possibly into or near some parked vehicles, according to Silverman. The parking lot is associated with a large one-story building, though the type of business is not yet known. More than 50 firefighters responded to the crash, and the fire had damaged four vehicles and two storage containers but was extinguished by Tuesday evening. The helicopter is believed to be part of a local TV news team, according to NBC4 Los Angeles, which reported on the incident.
