FREDERICK, Maryland - A fire department official says three people were killed and two others were injured when an airplane and a helicopter collided in midair at an airport in Maryland.
Capt. Kevin Fox of Frederick County Fire and Rescue says the collision at Frederick Municipal Airport occurred at 3:40 pm.
He says it's not clear how the collision occurred or which victims were aboard which aircraft.
The injured victims were taken to a trauma center in Hagerstown. Fox did not know the extent of their injuries.
Aerial footage from WJZ-TV in Baltimore showed an airplane that had crashed into a stand of trees.
The airport opened in 1948. It has two runways.
