A large emergency response was deployed along the Potomac River in Washington, DC, after a commercial passenger aircraft collided with a military-grade helicopter close to Ronald Reagan National Airport (DCA) on Wednesday evening, January 29.

This video shows multiple flashing lights from emergency vehicles around the airport.

In a statement, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said “a PSA Airlines Bombardier CRJ700 regional jet collided in midair with a Sikorsky H-60 helicopter while on approach to Runway 33 at Reagan Washington National Airport around 9 pm local time. PSA was operating as Flight 5342 for American Airlines. It departed from Wichita, Kansas. The FAA and NTSB will investigate. The NTSB will lead the investigation.”

The airplane was carrying 60 passengers and four crew members, American Airlines said in a statement.

A US Army official confirmed that the helicopter was a Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk flying out of Fort Belvoir, Virginia, with three soldiers on board, according to Reuters.

In an update just before 10 pm, DC’s Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) said there was “no confirmed information on casualties.”

Takeoffs and landings were halted at the airport as emergency personnel responded to the incident.

Contrary to false information circulating online, police said the helicopter involved in the collision was not MPD’s helicopter, which assisting the search-and-rescue operation. Credit: @Burning_Take via Storyful
