Military jet crashes in San Diego neighborhood

(CNN) -- A military jet crashed into a residential neighborhood in San Diego, California, on Monday as its pilot tried to land at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, an FAA spokesman told CNN.

The pilot ejected before the jet -- an F/A-18, according to a U.S. military source -- went down two miles from the airfield about 11:55 a.m. PT, the Federal Aviation Administration said.

Information about injuries wasn't immediately available, FAA spokesman Ian Gregor said. CNN affiliate KGTV reported that the pilot was transported to a local hospital in "mild status."

At least one structure at the crash site was on fire, KGTV reported.

The pilot was in communication with military air traffic controllers before the jet crashed, the FAA said.

F-18 just crashed in San Diego residential neighborhood near Cather Avenue and Huggins Street in University City.
