Authorities are currently investigating a tragic helicopter crash that occurred in Houston on Sunday evening, resulting in the deaths of four individuals on board. The privately owned Robinson R44 helicopter collided with a radio tower shortly after taking off from Ellington Airport, leading to a massive flame visible from nearby homes.
Investigators are focusing on the possibility that malfunctioning lighting on the tower may have contributed to the crash, causing the structure to topple. The identities of the pilot and passengers, including a child, have not been disclosed at this time.
