Black Hawk helicopter crashes on golf course
A US Army Black Hawk helicopter crashed Monday on a Maryland golf course, killing one person and wounding two others, according to reports.
The chopper went down at the Breton Bay Golf and Country Club in St. Mary’s County, southeast of Washington, according to a secretary at the golf course.
Broadcastify, which carries live streams of emergency radio transmissions, quoted the county fire and rescue department as saying one person was confirmed dead and two other people required evacuation.
WJLA posted a video of the smoldering wreckage surrounded by rescuers after the helicopter crashed about 1:30 p.m. Two medevac helicopters were sent to the scene.
A worker at a pro shop said he witnessed the disaster.
Kevin Bowen said the chopper was “flying kind of low” before “spinning” and crashing between the third and fourth holes of the golf course.
