Multiple people are believed to have been killed in a crash
involving two United States army helicopters.
The Fort Campbell military base in Kentucky said crew
members were flying two HH60 Blackhawk helicopters during a routine training
mission before the crash.
The collision was said to have happened around 10pm US time
on Wednesday.
The cause of the crash is under investigation and the
command said it is “currently focused on caring for the service members and
their families”.
It is unclear the number of people who were on board.
Andy Beshear, Kentucky’s governor, said fatalities were
expected and that the state’s police and emergency management service were
responding to the situation.
“We’ve got some tough news out of Fort Campbell, with early
reports of a helicopter crash and fatalities are expected. @kystatepolice,
@KentuckyEM and local officials are responding,” Beshear tweeted.
