A California Army National Guard pilot and co-pilot suffered minor injuries in a hard landing that rolled their helicopter onto its side at Ramona Airport near San Diega on Tuesday night, authorities have said.

The aviators were on a routine training mission when they had to land their UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter at the rural airport, a National Guard spokesman said.

The crash off the end of the runway was reported just before 6 pm. Firefighters and sheriff's deputies went to investigate.

The men got themselves out of the aircraft, which came to rest on its right side, Cal Fire Capt. Kendal Bortisser said. The two later were taken by ambulance to a hospital for treatment.

A statement issued by the National Guard said the helicopter sustained significant damage, but did not say why the pilot had to make the forced landing.
