National Transportation Safety Board investigators are headed to the spot where three people were killed after two helicopters collided in mid-air Sunday while fighting a fire in Southern California, an agency spokesperson told CNN on Monday.
The helicopters were among six aircraft responding to the Broadway Fire, which began Sunday after a structure fire spread to nearby vegetation in Cabazon, a community in Riverside County some 90 miles east of Los Angeles, CalFire Southern Region Chief David Fulcher said Sunday night.
A Bell 407 helicopter and a Sikorsky S-64E helicopter collided in the air, the NTSB spokesperson said.
