A news helicopter went down and caught fire near the site of a bus collision in Los Angeles, killing at least three people, according to Global News. The crash followed an earlier incident in which a driver struck a city bus with an SUV, CTV News reports.

The driver of that SUV has been arrested and will face murder charges, a prosecutor said, according to CTV News. CBC also reports the arrest on murder charges in connection with the sequence of events.

Photos published by the BBC show burned wreckage left by the helicopter crash. The Toronto Star notes the downed aircraft was a news helicopter, and that Los Angeles is where the practice of reporting from the air, sometimes called "eye-in-the-sky" coverage, took hold.

Global News places the death toll at a minimum of three. The reporting available does not specify how the fatalities are divided between the two incidents, and no further details on the victims have been released.

What to watch next: whether prosecutors file formal charges against the driver and whether investigators release a cause for the helicopter's descent.
