U.S. military officials say two Army helicopters have crashed in southwestern Kentucky during a routine training mission, causing “several” casualties. A statement from Fort Campbell says the two HH-60 Blackhawk helicopters, part of the 101st Airborne Division, crashed around 10 p.m. Wednesday in Trigg County, Kentucky. The 101st Airborne confirmed the crash, saying on Twitter it resulted in “several casualties” but did not specify whether those were injuries or deaths. Governor Andy Beshear had said earlier that fatalities were expected, adding that police and emergency officials were responding. The crash is under investigation.
