Story summary

On Tuesday, an SUV driven by Bailee Lynn Rios crashed into an LA Metro bus near Chatsworth, killing two people on the bus. This crash was captured on video and occurred around 9:47 a.m. when Rios allegedly drove through a red light, hit another car, and then collided with the bus. The collision involved three vehicles and injured six others, including the driver of the SUV.

Following this incident, an NBC news helicopter that had been covering the crash also crashed nearby, leading to the deaths of the pilot George Marciniw and reporter Eliana Moreno, along with a pedestrian named Edy Gutierrez Mejia. Rios is facing multiple charges including two counts of second-degree murder for the bus victims Daniel Castillo (46) and Gage Weida (31), driving under the influence, and reckless driving.

Police discovered suspected methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia in Rios's vehicle post-crash, indicating she was likely high on drugs at the time. She is being held on a $4.1 million bond with a court appearance scheduled for Friday.
