Three Idaho Army National Guard pilots have been killed after the Black Hawk helicopter they were traveling in crashed Tuesday night, officials announced Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The incident happened during a routine training flight near Boise. The names of the deceased are being withheld pending notification of next of kin.<\/p>\n

“This is a tremendous loss to the Idaho National Guard and our community,” Maj. Gen. Michael Garshak, its commander, said in a statement. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and loved ones as we work through this tragedy.”<\/p>\n

Military officials last made contact with the helicopter around 7:45 p.m. Tuesday. An Emergency Transmitter Locator device onboard was activated around 8 p.m.<\/p>\n

Snowy weather conditions then hampered initial search efforts, an Idaho National Guard spokesperson told ABC News.<\/p>\n

Crews eventually found the wreckage and personnel early this morning, south of Lucky Peak.<\/p>\n

“The cause of the accident is unknown and an investigation will begin promptly,” officials said in the statement.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
