Mary Grady

A Robinson R44 helicopter crashed into a house in a gated community in Newport Beach, California, about 2 p.m. Tuesday afternoon, killing three of the four people on board. A person on the ground nearby also was injured by debris from the crash. A witness who spoke to CBS Los Angeles said he saw the chopper "drop like a rock." Another witness told The Associated Press it looked as if the pilot was trying to land in the street, “but clipped the roof across the street and didn't make it." The pilot and two passengers died, and the third passenger was seriously hurt.
