BERLIN: A US military helicopter crashed in western Germany on Wednesday, killing all three people aboard, according to a spokesman for US Army Europe.
The aircraft went down about 6:20 pm (1720GMT) Wednesday in woods near the A67 highway between Viernheim and Lorsch, south of Frankfurt, Hesse state police said.
The helicopter was a UH-60 Black Hawk, said US Army Europe spokesman Bruce Anderson.
The Black Hawk is used for air assault and other military operations. It is normally designed to carry 11 combat-loaded troops.
