A U.S. Navy MH-60S Seahawk helicopter conducting a "routine training flight," crashed Thursday, on a Navy training range roughly 60 miles northeast of El Centro, according to authorities.
The crash was originally reported about 35 miles north of Yuma, Arizona, at around 6 p.m., the Naval Air Facility El Centro said on their Facebook page.
All four of the air crew on board survived the crash, according to Cmdr. Zach Harrell, Public Affairs Officer for Commander, Naval Air Forces. Only one of the four suffered a non-life-threatening injury and was transported to a local hospital, Harrell said.
The helicopter, a Sikorsky MH-60S Seahawk, is assigned to Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 3 (HSC-3) based at Naval Air Station North Island.
