An SUV driver has been charged with murder after a collision with a Los Angeles city bus that killed two riders, according to prosecutors cited by NPR.
Prosecutors allege that the driver was under the influence of drugs when she swerved into the wrong lane. They also said she ran a red light before the SUV slammed into the bus.
The charge follows a crash involving a city-operated bus in Los Angeles. The available report identifies two fatalities among the bus riders but does not provide their names, ages or additional details about the collision.
NPR’s report also refers to a helicopter crash in its headline, but the supplied excerpt does not provide information about that incident or explain its connection to the bus collision. No further details about the driver’s identity, the date or location of the crash, or the court proceedings were included in the supplied material.
The allegations are attributed to prosecutors, and the charging document or a response from the driver was not provided. The case will proceed through the legal system, where the allegations must be tested in court.
