WPR10LA134Accident on February 13, 2010 at Santa Clarita, CA: serious injuries.

Aircraft on the NTSB record: Boeing 737-7H4 · operated under 121

The pilot’s abrupt airplane pitch change maneuver. Contributing to the accident was the flight crew’s failure to maintain the heading specified by the air traffic controller, which would have avoided the near collision course with an unidentified airplane that triggered the traffic alert and collision avoidance system resolution advisory.
