DOERUN, Georgia (AP) -- A

military helicopter clipped a rural Georgia television station tower and

crashed Thursday morning, killing four

soldiers on a training mission, officials said.

A fifth soldier aboard the MH-47 Chinook helicopter

survived, said Lisa Eichhorn, a spokeswoman for Fort Rucker, Alabama, home to the Army

helicopter training school where the soldiers were headed.

The survivor's condition was not immediately available.

The helicopter had left Hunter Army Airfield in Savannah and went down in rural Colquitt County just after 8 a.m.,

sheriff's dispatcher Becky Perry said.

As it flew past a television station's 1,000-foot-tall

tower, it clipped a wire, Deborah Owens, station manager of WFXL, said.

Angela Tyner, 32, heard the crash, dialed 911 and then

jumped in her pickup truck and drove to the nearby cow pasture where the

wreckage lay.

Flames and smoke were coming out of the helicopter's engine,

she said. She said she saw two bodies, then she noticed the survivor walking

along a fence with a cut above his eye and few scratches on his hands.
