A Navy helicopter with four people aboard went down Thursday evening, June 9, in Imperial County in the same general training area as the site of a deadly Marine Osprey crash the day before, Navy officials announced.
One person was reported to have non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to a hospital. The other three were reported to have no injuries. The crash happened about 6 p.m.
“The helicopter went down on a U.S. Navy training range near El Centro, according to our initial reports,” Cmdr. Zach Harrell, commander of Naval Forces, said. The crash was about 35 miles north of Yuma, Arizona.
The Marine Osprey crashed shortly before 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday near the Imperial Valley community of Glamis. Five Marines aboard died.
