A tourist helicopter crashed in the Grand Canyon on Saturday, killing three people and injuring four others, Arizona media and a federal aviation spokesman said.

The helicopter was on a tour of the canyon, one of the top U.S. tourist destinations and more than a mile deep, when it went down, a dispatcher for the Hualapai Department of Emergency Services told Phoenix television station KNXV.
