All Four Crewmembers Fatally Injured In Training Accident

A UH-60L Black Hawk helicopter with four crew members on board went down sometime after 5:49 p.m. Nov. 23 in the northeast portion on the Fort Hood Range in Texas.

The base said in a news release that after an extensive search, emergency crews located the scene of the incident and are reporting the four crew members had been fatally injured.
 
The crew was assigned to Division West, First Army. They were on a routine training mission at the time of the accident. The cause of the accident is unknown at this time. A board will be assigned to investigate the incident.
 
The names of the deceased will not be released until 24 hours after next of kin notification.
