Bailee Lynn Rios, a 36-year-old woman from California, has been charged with murder following a collision in Los Angeles that subsequently led to a fatal news helicopter crash. According to prosecutors, Rios was speeding, drug-affected, and driving an SUV on the wrong side of the road when she ran a red light and plowed into a Los Angeles metro bus.
The initial bus collision and subsequent sequence of events prompted an NBC news helicopter to cover the developing story from the air. The crash involving Rios's SUV directly preceded the deadly plunge of the news helicopter, establishing the chain of events that resulted in the murder charges brought against her.
