Two U.S. army helicopters crash in Kentucky

Two U.S. Army helicopters collided on Wednesday while on a training mission over Kentucky, a spokesperson said in a statement to Reuters.

The status of the crew members was not immediately known, the spokesperson added. "We've got some tough news out of Fort Campbell, with early reports of a helicopter crash and fatalities are expected," Kentucky's governor, Andy Beshear, said in a post on Twitter early on Thursday.
