At least four people are dead after a U.S. Marine Corps aircraft crashed in Southern California on Wednesday.
The aircraft, an MV-22B Osprey belonging to 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, crashed near Glamis in Imperial County, southeast California, according to Maj. Mason Englehart, spokesman for the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, which has units based in Miramar, Yuma, Pendleton, and Twentynine Palms.
He said the aircraft went down at 12:25 p.m. during a training exercise.
He could not confirm the number of people on board or whether there were any deaths, and said information was still being gathered.
The tiltrotor aircraft can take off and land as a helicopter but transit as a turboprop aircraft….
