ACCOMACK, Va. (NewsNation) — Virginia State Police say four people are safe following a crash involving a U.S. Navy plane during a training operation in Accomack County Monday.

State police were alerted to the crash just before 4 p.m. Troopers arrived to find the wreckage of the Norfolk-based aircraft near the intersection of Berry and Mason roads in Bloxom.

Cmdr. Jennifer Cragg, public affairs officer for Naval Air Force Atlantic, said the plane was an E-2C Hawkeye.

Cragg said the two pilots and two passengers were able to bail out of the plane safely.

The Navy also said no structures or personnel on the ground were damaged or injured during the “mishap.”

The plane is assigned to Airborne Command & Control Squadron (VAW) 120 Fleet Replacement Squadron at Naval Station Norfolk, Cragg said.

VAW-120 reports to Airborne Command & Control and Logistics Wing commanded by Capt. Michael France, the Navy said.

The cause of the crash is under investigation, Virginia State Police is the lead agency at the scene.

Both roads closed at the intersection during the crash investigation and a detour was set up.
