Two HH60 Blackhawk helicopters from the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) crashed on a routine training mission in Trigg County, Kentucky, on Wednesday night. While the cause of the crash remains unknown, multiple sources confirmed that there were fatalities. The Fort Campbell public affairs has not provided information on the status of the crewmembers, saying the investigation is ongoing, but Gov. Andy Beshear expressed that fatalities are to be expected.

The Kentucky State Police Post 1 were called to assist agencies on site, and various emergency departments responded to extinguish the fires on the helicopters that broke into several pieces. The debris was spread between Bobby Light Road and Lancaster Road after the incident occurred. Weather conditions at the time of the crash were reported as clear with light to no wind. The Safety Investigation Team from the U.S. Army Combat Readiness Center in Fort Rucker, Alabama, will investigate the crash of the two Blackhawk helicopters. The community remains concerned, as eyewitnesses claimed that several military helicopters have been flying across the area over the past few nights.
