A desperate search is underway for a missing US Navy helicopter in San Diego, California, per authorities.

At least five Marines are on board the aircraft, according to CBS8.

The helicopter took off from Creech Air Force Base near Las Vegas on Tuesday night and was heading to the Marine Corps Air Station in Miramar when it went missing.

Cal Fire said a call came in at 2.20am local time about the missing chopper.

The CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter was last reported north of Interstate 8 and Kitchen Road, southeast of Descanso.

The area is currently covered in snow, making the search more difficult, officials said.

The Sheriff’s department said it received a call shortly before 2am on Monday and sent its own helicopter to search, but the aircraft couldn’t reach the area due to a severe weather system hitting the region.

Multiple agencies are involved in the search, including Border Patrol.

Person struck, killed by train in Encinitas

A person was fatally struck by a train in the Cardiff neighborhood of Encinitas early Wednesday afternoon, a sheriff’s official said.

The collision was reported just after 1 p.m. in the area of Chesterfield Drive at San Elijo Avenue, Lt. Joe Berry said.

The Sheriff’s Office’s Railroad Enforcement Unit is investigating the incident.

Chesterfield was briefly closed between San Elijo and Coast Highway 101 as first responders worked, but the road has since reopened.

In a post on social media platform X, the North County Transit District warned people to expect significant delays for Coaster service. Tracks were closed between Solana Beach and Encinitas stations, it said, and a Breeze bus bridge would be available for passengers between those stations.
