A Marine Corps fighter jet crashed into a residential neighborhood in Southern California, destroying homes. No injuries, however, were reported.

The crash happened at around 4:20 p.m. PDT when the Harrier AV-8B began flying lower and lower, according to witnesses, until it dropped from the sky and crashed into a house's front lawn. According to the San Francisco Gate, the plane crashed into the small city of Imperial, which has a population of around 15,000 and is located about 90 miles east of San Diego, near the U.S.-Mexico border.

First Lt. Jose Negrete told reporters that, despite crashing into a heavily populated and residential area, there were no casualties. The pilot managed to eject before crashing, according to the Gate, and he was taken to a nearby hospital for evaluation.

Three houses were affected by the crash. One was hit by debris from the plane, which destroyed its roof, according to Marine Lt. Colonel John Ferguson, while fire from the explosion destroyed one house and badly burned the third.

The Harrier fighter is a subsonic jet that has been in use by the U.S. Marine Corps since the 1980s and will be soon replaced. Widely known for its ability to take off and land vertically, this Jump Jet was stationed at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma in Arizona, reports the Gate.

Yet, this was not the only military crash on that day. According to KPBS, a Navy FA-18E Hornet crashed while attempting to land of the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson, which was stationed off Coronado. The pilot ejected before the crash and was recovered by rescuers. The plane, however, was destroyed in the crash. Just like the Harrier crash, the military did not provide reasons for either crash.  

However, the Marine Corps Base in Yuma is no stranger to accidents. Less than a month ago, another Harrier based there crashed into a desert area near the Gila River Indian Reservation, according to The Republic. The pilot was recovered with minor injuries.
