A federal source told CBS News four of the five were killed. There was no mention of the fate of the fifth. The MV-22 Osprey, belonging to the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, crashed in a deserted area near Glamis, California, Maj Mason Englehart confirmed to CBS News. The accident occurred around 12:25 local time. The plane was carrying five marines, Englehart said, but could not immediately confirm the total number of people on board, including the crew, or whether there were any deaths or injuries. The U.S. Marine Corps wrote on Twitter on Wednesday night that it was “awaiting confirmation” of the “condition” of the five Marines. “We ask for the patience of the public as we work diligently with the first correspondents and the unit involved to find out what happened this afternoon,” he wrote. The Federal Fire Service and Imperial County Fire Department responded to the crash, Naval Air Facility El Centro said, adding that “contrary to initial reports, there was no nuclear material on board.”
Glamis is located in Imperial County, about 50 miles north of the US-Mexico border. The 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing is based at the Marine Corps Miramar Air Force Base, while Osprey itself was based outside the Marine Corps Air Station Pendleton Camp, Englehart said. Both are located in neighboring San Diego County. The cause of the crash was not clear. The Osprey is a tiltrotor aircraft used to move troops and supplies, according to the Marines. It can take off and land like a helicopter, but it can also fly like an airplane.
