A member of the 3rd Infantry Division’s combat aviation brigade was killed in an accident Wednesday morning at Wright Army Airfield, Georgia, division officials said.

The accident involved two UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters, said division spokesperson Lt. Col. Lindsey Elder in a release. She added that the airfield is “closed until further notice.”


Reached via phone, Elder told Army Times that investigators from the Army Criminal Investigative Division and the Army Combat Readiness Center are looking into how the soldier’s death occurred.

It’s not clear whether the helicopters were in flight at the time of the accident.
