A medical transport helicopter flying from Santa Catalina Island to the mainland crashed into the Pacific Ocean on Wednesday night, leaving two people dead and one missing.

The L.A. County Fire Department received a call at 7:43 p.m. for a marine rescue. Five people were aboard the Eurocopter EC 135 P2, which is owned by REACH Air Medical Services. Flight tracking data show the aircraft left Pebbly Beach heliport and reached about 175 feet before rapidly descending, roughly eight seconds into the flight.

Rescuers found four people in the water. Two were pronounced dead, and two were taken to mainland hospitals in stable condition. The missing person is the patient who was being transported, according to the Coast Guard.

The Coast Guard is searching several square miles with a helicopter and a 45-foot boat. Officials believe the aircraft is at a depth of about 240 feet, and an underwater drone is being used to locate it.

The NTSB is leading the investigation, and its investigators arrived at the scene Thursday morning. REACH said it is coordinating with authorities and that its thoughts are with those affected. The cause has not been determined.

A student has died after falling from a four-story building at Benjamin Franklin High School in Highland Park on Wednesday afternoon, prompting a lockdown of the campus.

L.A. City Fire said it responded to a report of a fall at the school, located in the 800 block of N. Ave 54, at 12:59 p.m. Crews found a student who had fallen from the building and quickly transported the student to a hospital. LAPD later confirmed that the student died. Authorities have not released the student's name or age.

Aerial footage showed taped-off areas on several floors of the building, and a canopy was later put up at the site. It is unclear how far the student fell, and no details about the circumstances have been shared.

No other injuries were reported. L.A. City Fire, LAPD, and LAUSD police are investigating.

In a message to parents, Principal Marine Davtyan said a medical emergency required the lockdown, with all gates and doors locked until law enforcement gives the all clear. She said staff are well trained in safety procedures and that the school will keep families informed.

Our thoughts are with the student's family, classmates, and the entire Franklin High community.

A routine Friday morning shift turned deadly in Riverside County after a semi-truck crashed into a construction zone on eastbound Interstate 10 near Intake Boulevard in Blythe, killing three workers.

The California Highway Patrol says the crash was reported around 6 a.m. Investigators believe the big rig, traveling east, first struck a parked attenuator truck meant to protect the work zone, then hit an unoccupied Chevrolet Silverado, before colliding with a water truck. Three construction workers were struck during the chain of collisions and died at the scene. Their names have not yet been released.

The truck driver, a 44-year-old man from Redlands, suffered serious injuries to his head and leg and was airlifted to Desert Regional Medical Center in Palm Springs.

CHP officials say drugs and alcohol do not appear to have played a role, though the investigation is ongoing.

A SigAlert shut down eastbound lanes of I-10 for hours while crews worked the scene, and drivers were urged to seek alternate routes as the highway remained closed during the investigation.

Work zones exist to keep both drivers and crews safe, and tragedies like this one are a devastating reminder of how dangerous highway construction sites can be when drivers don't slow down or stay alert.

Our hearts go out to the families, coworkers, and loved ones of the three workers who lost their lives. They went to work Friday morning and never made it home.

A bicyclist has died following a collision with a semi-truck in Riverside, CA. The crash happened Thursday, September 24, around 10:26 AM at the intersection of Jefferson St. and Indiana Ave.

According to Riverside Police, the semi-truck was making an eastbound turn onto Indiana Ave. when the bicyclist collided with the truck's trailer in the intersection. Riverside Fire personnel responded and attempted life-saving measures, but the bicyclist was later pronounced deceased at the scene.

The truck driver stayed on scene and is cooperating with investigators. Riverside PD's Major Accident Investigation Team (M.A.I.T.) has taken over the investigation to determine exactly what happened in those final seconds before impact.

Intersections like this one are especially dangerous for cyclists, since large vehicles making turns often have significant blind spots. Right-of-way laws exist to protect the most vulnerable people on the road, but tragedies like this one are a reminder of how quickly things can go wrong even when everyone is following the rules.

Our thoughts are with the victim's family and loved ones during this difficult time.
