A U.S. Navy helicopter crashed into a Southern California bay during a training exercise Thursday night, a spokesperson said. All six crew members survived.
The MH-60R Seahawk crashed in the waters of San Diego Bay shortly after 6:30 p.m., according to a statement from Cmdr. Beth Teach of the Naval Air Force Pacific Fleet.
“Due to the nature of the training, a safety boat was on location,” the statement said, adding that the crew members were taken ashore for medical evaluations.
There wasn’t any immediate word on their conditions but Navy officials weren’t aware of any critical of life-threatening injuries.
