Three National Guard pilots have been killed in helicopter crash in Idaho.

They were flying in a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter when it went down Tuesday evening south of Lucky Peak near Boise.

The Idaho National Guard said in a statement the three personnel were participating in a routine training flight when they were killed shortly after 8pm

Lt. Col. Christopher Borders told ABC the weather conditions at the time were 'poor'.

He added: 'There was snow. It's been poor conditions on and off throughout the period. It hampered our initial air search efforts when we were notified that the emergency locator had triggered.

'As as result we immediately launched a ground crew to search. At approximately 11 p.m. the weather improved enough to launch another aircraft to commence the air search.

'And after midnight tonight, approximately 12:15 a.m. our search and rescue crew located the aircraft and confirmed there were no survivors.'
