Prosecutors charged an SUV driver with murder on September 18, 2026, after a collision with a Los Angeles city bus left two passengers dead, according to ABC News and NPR.

The driver, prosecutors allege, was impaired by drugs at the time. Before the collision, the driver ran a red light and crossed into oncoming traffic, both outlets reported.

The crash in Los Angeles also preceded a news helicopter crash, ABC News and NPR said. No further details about the helicopter incident were included in the charges filed that day.
