Woman charged with murder in Chatsworth Metro bus crash pleads not guilty
Дата публикации: 24-09-2026 10:42:57



The woman charged with murder and other crimes in a high-speed crash that killed two Metro bus passengers at a Chatsworth intersection in a tragic chain of events appeared in court on Thursday for the first time and pleaded not guilty.
Bailee Lynn Rios, 36, of Simi Valley was identified as the driver of the 2004 Ford Expedition that authorities said was traveling the wrong way and ran a red light before broadsiding the bus. Rios was charged last week with second-degree murder, DUI and reckless driving.
Rios, who was injured in the crash, was rolled into the courtroom Thursday on a gurney and surrounded by deputies. Her next hearing was scheduled for Nov. 2.
Bail will remain at $4.1 million.
Rios’ previous scheduled court appearances were delayed due to medical reasons.
She was behind the wheel of the Expedition Sept. 15 when it collided with an orange Metro bus that had just entered the intersection at Nordhoff Street and De Soto Avenue. The SUV was traveling south in northbound lanes on De Soto Avenue when the driver ran a red light and slammed into the bus, police said
The SUV ended up partially inside the bus. One passenger was ejected from the bus and six passengers suffered injuries.
The Los Angeles County medical examiner identified the victims who died as 46-year-old Daniel Castillo and 31-year-old Gage Weida.
The crash was part of a devastating series of events in the San Fernando Valley community. Two news helicopter crew members, reporter Eliana Moreno and pilot George Marciniw, were killed when their chopper crashed as they were covering the bus crash.
A 29-year-old man on the ground who was visiting from Guatemala also died in the helicopter crash.
During a news conference last week, District Attorney Nathan Hochman was asked whether Rios will be charged in connection with the helicopter crash. He said his office will wait to see what comes out of the federal investigation, which is already underway.
A preliminary report is expected in about 30 days with the final report taking months to complete.
It was not immediately clear whether Rios has an attorney who could speak on her behalf.
