Navy copter crashes in Texas; one of four crew members rescued

A Navy helicopter carrying four crew members crashed in Texas on Wednesday night, a Navy spokesman said.
Rescue crews took one person to the hospital and were searching for the other occupants, said Bob Torres, a public affairs officer for the Naval Air Station at Corpus Christi, Texas.
The MH-53 Sea Dragon crashed in a field about four miles south of Corpus Christi just after 8 p.m (9 p.m. ET).
It caught fire and burned after impact, said Ed Mackley, public affairs officer for the Naval Mine and Anti-Submarine Warfare Command.
J.D. Batten told the Corpus-Christi Caller-Times he was walking on his property about two miles from the crash site when he heard a helicopter overhead.
"I saw a red-glowing fireball shoot hundreds of feet up into the air," he told the paper. "I heard a giant boom a second later. It was then dead silent, and I couldn't hear the helicopter anymore
