A United States Army Black Hawk helicopter was carrying three crew members when it collided with a regional jet near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, CNN reported, citing a US defense official.

Senior Army officials often use Black Hawks for travel in the Washington, DC, area but this time the helicopter was not transporting any high-level military officials or VIPs, according to the media outlet.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) earlier confirmed that the crash involved a Sikorsky H-60 military helicopter and a PSA Airlines Bombardier CRJ700. The PSA jet had departed from Wichita, Kansas, with 64 people on board, including four crew members and 60 passengers. The collision led to a temporary closure of the airport and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that President Donald Trump had been briefed on the incident.
