WASHINGTON — An Army AH-64 Apache helicopter crashed during a training exercise in Washington state over the weekend and investigators are still trying to determine what went wrong, service officials said Tuesday.

The helicopter was carrying two soldiers from the 16th Combat Aviation Brigade from Joint Base Lewis-McChord when it went down near the Yakima Training Center late Saturday, the service said. It was the second Army helicopter to crash in less than three weeks.
