HOUSTON (AP) - A Houston television station says two people died when its news helicopter crashed in a rural area in Montgomery County, north of Houston.

KTRK, an affiliate of ABC, reported Monday that a pilot and a photographer were on their way to a shooting scene in Montgomery County. The station showed video of pieces of the helicopter smashed against a tree in a forested area with part of the station's logo visible on a piece of debris. The crash caused some trees to catch fire near the crash site.

A spokesman for KTRK did not immediately return a call from The Associated Press.
