ALTADENA, Calif. Federal officials are investigating a collision involving two police helicopters in the Los Angeles area that left five officers and a civilian with minor injuries. Investigators believe Saturday's crash occurred when the rotator blades touched of a chopper that was landing and one that was taking off, Lt. Phlunte Riddle said. The collision caused extensive damage to both aircraft - crumpling the tail and breaking the blades of one helicopter, and shearing a blade off the other. The injured were taken to hospitals for evaluation after the 4 p.m. collision at the Pasadena Police Department's heliport in Altadena. Riddle said they included a pilot and an observer in each of the Bell OH-58A helicopters and two officers on the ground. One of the observers was a civilian.
