An incident involving two Army helicopters that killed a medical evacuation pilot at a Fort Stewart, Georgia, airfield last week was not an accident and is under criminal investigation, Army Times has learned.
Capt. James Bellew died March 30 at about 2 a.m. in an “incident” involving two HH-60 Black Hawk helicopters at Wright Army Airfield, a dual-use airport between Fort Stewart and the city of Hinesville.
A source with knowledge of investigative efforts told Army Times that the incident was “not an accident.” Army Times granted the source anonymity in order to freely describe an ongoing investigation.
A spokesperson for 3rd Infantry Division, Lt. Col. Lindsey Elder, said the service’s Criminal Investigation Division is probing the crash. CID also has support from Army Combat Readiness Center safety experts.
