A pair of helicopters with the 101st Airborne Division have crashed in southwestern Kentucky, resulting in “several casualties,” according to the 101st, which didn’t specify the number of crewmembers either killed or injured. Two HH-60 Blackhawk helicopters crashed in Trigg County at about 10 p.m. Wednesday, a statement from nearby Fort Campbell said.

Trigg County is located just north of the Kentucky-Tennessee state border. “We’ve got some tough news out of Fort Campbell, with early reports of a helicopter crash and fatalities are expected,” Beshear said on Twitter. “Please pray for all those affected.” A spokesperson with the Kentucky State Police said they were assisting Fort Campbell authorities after an “aircraft incident” in a rural area.
