A Navy helicopter went down in the rural Southern Californian desert a day after a deadly military aircraft crashed in the same area.

The Navy helicopter that crashed around a training range near El Centro in Imperial County, according to Commander Zachary Harrell, Naval Air Forces spokesperson, as reported by CBS News.

Harrell confirmed that all four people that were aboard the Navy helicopter had survived with at least one taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Local and federal agencies are addressing the matter.

The Naval forces spokesperson said that more information will be available as they gather more details regarding the case.

Harrel said that the helicopter involved was an MH-60S Seahawk, which is the type of chopper that is primarily used for anti-surface warfare, combat support, and humanitarian disaster relief, according to Naval Air Systems Command.

It is not yet clear what caused the crash, according to The Desert Sun report. 

The incident is the third crash of a military aircraft in Southern California in less than a week.

Military Aircraft Crash

Last year, a Navy helicopter crash off Southern California killed five crewmembers. The cause of the crash was only announced last month.

The military announced that it was caused by mechanical failure and not pilot error, as reported by NBC News.

A command investigation was completed on April 18, which found that a damper hose failed on the MH-60S Seahawak during flight, which was probably because of unsuspected damage that occurred during maintenance.

The Navy said that the hose reduces vibrations from the main rotor and the failure led to severe vibrations that caused the rotor to hit the deck as the aircraft landed on an aircraft carrier on Aug. 21, 2021, off San Diego.

The helicopter fell into the sea and sank about 70 miles off San Diego, with one crew member rescued and five declared dead after a search.

Marine Osprey Aircraft Crash

Officials announced that an Osprey aircraft with five Marines on board crashed in the Southern California desert on Wednesday.

NBC News noted that the status of the Marines was not immediately available. The 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing said in a statement that it was "asking for patience" as they work with first responders and the unit to identify what happened with the crash.

The aircraft was identified as an MV-22B Osprey and was based at Camp Pendleton.

Military officials said early reports of nuclear material on board the aircraft were false.

Naval Air Facility El Centro said that military firefighters and the Imperial County Fire Department were responding to the incident.

The Osprey aircraft has had a history of troubles over the two decades it has been flying in U.S. military training exercises and missions.

An Osprey crashed in March during training exercises with NATO allies in Norway. The incident killed four U.S. Marines and the accident took place during extreme winter conditions.

The Marine Corps has maintained the vehicle is relatively safe and effective.
