Helicopter

Anyone else hear what sounds like a helicopter? Hilton area?

Probably a news helicopter - there are some FB posts that a NJ Transit bus and a garbage truck had an accident somewhere on Springfield Avenue in Maplewood. Parts of the street are closed off, the bus driver is injured.

I also heard there was a fatality in the accident.

Between Chancellor and Becker per Nixle alert.

Apparently the MPD Officer gave me wrong info as the news did not mention any fatalities, only injuries.

In the 5pm news, the bus driver was reported as injured. This morning the news reported that the driver died.

He was severely injured, and later died of his injuries.  The MPD officer was probably accurate at the time of his statement.  Or he was providing the information he had at the time.
