Four Army aviators were killed when two helicopters crashed in the aviation training area southwest of Joint Base Lewis-McChord, said base spokesman Lt. Col. Gary Dangerfield.
The circumstances of the crash are still unclear, but Dangerfield said it was sometime after 8 p.m. and involved two OH-58 Kiowa choppers and occurred about two miles south of Spurgeon Creek Road Southeast and Rainier Road Southeast.
The names of the soldiers involved were not immediately released. Initial reports said two soldiers also were injured, but that wasn’t the case. Base spokesman J.C. Mathews said each helicopter seated two.
Police and Army officials are blocking access to the crash area.
