A Utah National Guard AH-64D Apache Longbow helicopter crashed during a training exercise at the West Jordan Army Aviation Support Facility, injuring two pilots.
The crash occurred around 1:20 p.m. on Monday, with the pilots subsequently taken to a hospital where they were reported to be in stable condition.
No deaths or other injuries were reported in the incident, and the helicopter sustained extensive damage.
