Meanwhile, the Madison County Sheriff’s Office urged motorists to avoid the route and take alternative roads instead to avoid massive delays caused by the highway’s closure.

“Redstone Arsenal leaders are aware of reports of a helicopter incident near Highway 53 in Huntsville,” the United States Army post in Madison County confirmed in a statement after the crash.

“First responders are on scene, and Redstone Arsenal is in full support of local authorities in their active investigation.
