SAN DIEGO (AP) -- The Coast Guard says a Navy helicopter with five people aboard has crashed into the ocean 13 miles south of San Diego near the Coronado Islands. Coast Guard Petty Officer Henry Dunphy says the Navy reported the crash of the HH60 Seahawk helicopter shortly before midnight Tuesday. Dunphy says Coast Guard helicopters and boats along with San Diego Harbor police and U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents are searching the area for survivors. There's no word on whether any wreckage or survivors have been discovered. Dunphy didn't know from where the helicopter had taken off and Navy officials didn't immediately respond to phone messages left early Wednesday.
