A military helicopter crashed into a regional jet near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) and President Donald Trump was briefed on the matter, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News.

The press secretary's comments came as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed that a PSA Airlines Bombardier CRJ700 regional jet and a Sikorsky H-60 military helicopter collided midair. The PSA jet, operating as Flight 5342 for American Airlines, had departed from Wichita, Kansas.

The crash led to the temporary closure of the airport, which is located in Virginia, near the nation's capital.
