Two Television Helicopters Collide, Killing Four
Adjust font size:

Four people were killed on Friday when two television news helicopters collided while following a police chase in Phoenix, Arizona.

 

 

A pilot and photographer aboard each chopper were killed, police confirmed.

 

Local television station KNXV reported that it owned one of the choppers. The other was from KTVK.

 

Within a minute, other stations with helicopters in the area began reporting news of the crash.

 

The men on the choppers were doing live coverage as police chased a man driving a construction truck who had fled a traffic stop and was driving erratically, hitting several cars and driving on the sidewalk at times.

 

The man fleeing from police was later taken into custody after barricading himself inside a house, police said

 

Both helicopters went down in a park in central Phoenix and caught fire. No one on the ground was hurt.
