LEADVILLE, Colo. (AP) -- The Army is investigating the crash of a Special Operations helicopter on Colorado's second-highest mountain that killed two people, injured one and left another missing.
Investigators say the Black Hawk helicopter from Fort Campbell, Ky., was on a training exercise Wednesday when it crashed about 400 feet from the summit of 14,421-foot Mount Massive.
Lt. Col. John Clearwater of the Special Operations Command at Fort Bragg, N.C., declined to say Thursday whether the missing person had been found.
He wouldn't comment on the search but said an investigation is under way.
The Lake County, Colo., Sheriff's Department says the injured person was flown to a Denver hospital. That person's condition wasn't immediately known.
No names were released.
