All four air crew aboard a Navy helicopter survived a crash Thursday evening near El Centro, Calif., according to the service.
The MH-60S Seahawk crashed around 6 p.m. “while conducting a routine training flight from Naval Air Facility El Centro,” according to a Navy statement.
“All four of the air crew on board survived the crash and have been safely recovered,” the statement added.
One person aboard suffered non-life threatening injuries and was taken to a local hospital.
The helicopter was assigned to Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 3, based at Naval Air Station North Island, Calif.
The crash happened roughly 40 miles away from a Marine Corps aircraft crash a day earlier that killed all five Marines aboard.
In that instance, a training mission turned into tragedy when a MV-22B Osprey crashed near Glamis, Calif.
The cause of the crash is still under investigation.
