Description
The investigation continued Friday into what caused a U.S. Navy helicopter with six crew members onboard to crash into San Diego Bay.
The crash happened Thursday evening.
Navy Commander Beth Teach confirmed an MH-60R Seahawk from Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron (HSM) 41 crashed into the waters around 6:40 p.m. Coronado Fire responded to a call on Strand Way and Guadalcanal in Coronado on the Silver Strand shortly after.
"Due to the nature of the training, a safety boat was on location and, with the assistance of Federal Fire, all six crew members survived and were promptly moved ashore," said Teach.
The helicopter squadron, according to a release from the Navy, is a Fleet Replacement Squadron that trains new naval aviators to fly and fight the MH-60R Sea Hawk helicopter.
Teach said all six people are undergoing medical evaluation. She confirmed no one suffered any critical injuries.
