NEW ZEALAND: Three people were killed after a light plane and a helicopter collided in mid-air north of New Zealand's capital Sunday, police said.

Two men in the helicopter on a training flight were killed when it slammed into a building after its tail brushed the wing of the airplane, emergency workers said.

The pilot of the light airplane survived the crash, but died later in a hospital from multiple injuries, police said.
