Summary
Four service members were taken for medical evaluation after a Marine Corps MV-22B Osprey burst into flames following a hard landing during a training mission in North Carolina.
The aircraft, based at Marine Corps Air Station New River, went down near Bladen Lakes State Forest; White Lake's fire chief said at least one Marine suffered burns and was rushed to a nearby clinic.
Civilian and military emergency crews responded to the crash site as scheduled training exercises were underway this week at MCAS New River.
Camp Lejeune had already warned nearby residents to expect heavier traffic, tighter security and more emergency activity during the exercises, while investigators work to determine the cause.
