FORT NOVOSEL, Ala. (AP) — An Alabama coroner says a helicopter crash at a military base has killed one person and injured another. Dale County Coroner John Cawley says an AH-64 Apache helicopter crashed during routine flight training on Fort Novosel Army base on Wednesday afternoon. The base is the Army’s primary training facility for helicopter pilots. It’s about 94 miles south of Montgomery. The crash killed the flight instructor. There was only one other passenger in the helicopter, a student, who is being treated for minor injuries at a hospital. Military authorities did not immediately provide any information about the circumstances of the crash.
