A Coast Guard helicopter crashed near Harbor Mountain in Sitka, Alaska, on Monday, injuring all four crew members on board. The MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter was on a routine training flight when it crashed, but no deaths were reported.
Rescuers arrived at the scene around 11 a.m., about an hour after the crash, and rushed the crew members to Mt. Edgecumbe Medical Center. The extent of their injuries is not yet clear.
The Coast Guard has stated that the safety and well-being of the crew members is their top priority. An investigation into the cause of the crash is underway.
This incident is the latest in a series of recent plane crashes, including a business jet crash in Laredo, Texas, a B-52 crash at Edwards Air Force Base in California, and a plane crash in Missouri that killed 12 people.
