An AV-8B Harrier jet from the Third Marine Aircraft Wing based at the Marine Corps Air Station Yuma crashed yesterday afternoon into a neighborhood in Imperial, California.
According to a press release issued by the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, the pilot ejected safely prior to the crash and no one on the ground was hurt. There was, however, major property damage to three homes, and eight families had to be evacuated as a result of the post-crash fire.
