Three homes were damaged and three residents treated for minor injuries, the Fort Worth Fire Department said. “It could have been a lot worse,” a police chief said.
A military training jet crashed into a backyard in Lake Worth, Texas, on Sunday, injuring the plane’s two pilots, damaging at least three homes and causing dozens of homes to lose power, officials said. The pilots ejected themselves from the plane, and one pilot’s parachute was caught in power lines, the police said. The pilots, who were not identified, were taken to nearby hospitals. Three residents were treated for minor injuries at the scene, the Fort Worth Fire Department said in a statement. Lt. Michelle Tucker, a spokeswoman for the Chief of Naval Air Training, said one of the pilots was in serious condition and the other in stable condition.
