Jan. 30 (UPI) — A helicopter carrying four people crashed into a Southern California home Tuesday, killing three, emergency officials said.
The Robinson 44 aircraft hit the residence in Newport Beach, about 20 miles south of Anaheim in Orange County, around 1:50 p.m.
Officers told KTLA-TV that no one on the ground sustained injuries, though KNBC-TV cited the Newport Beach Fire Department, which said two people were injured, presumably the fourth occupant of the helicopter and one person on the ground.
The crash happened about 1 miles southeast of John Wayne Airport.
The Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board were investigating the cause of the crash.
