The helicopter was involved in a training exercise at the time of the crash, which happened at 6874 S Center St in West Jordan. 

According to Lt. Col. Chris Kroeber, the helicopter had been hovering in the area before it went down. Additionally, one of the pilots was a highly experienced pilot. 

“One of the pilots was a senior instructor pilot, so that’s routine for this type of training mission,” said Kroeber.
