Two soldiers from the 4th Infantry Division remained hospitalized Thursday in stable condition Thursday, one day after an incident involving a Black Hawk helicopter accident near Fort Carson, Colorado.
The UH-60 Black Hawk from the 4th Combat Aviation Brigade was on a routine training mission when it made a hard landing about 4:30 p.m. Wednesday on U.S. Forest Service land in neighboring Douglas County. There were four soldiers on board the helicopter at the time.
The accident site has since been secured, officials at Fort Carson said Thursday. The aircraft will remain there until investigators have completed their work.
The cause of the accident incident is still under investigation. A Centralized Accident Investigation team from the Army Combat Readiness Center, from Fort Rucker, Alabama, is traveling to Fort Carson to lead the investigation. The team is expected to arrive Thursday night.
