Sunday, June 14, 2026

A fighter jet crashed into a mountain Saturday afternoon in Yakima County, Washington, sparking a wildfire, local officials said. The crash occurred at about noon near Rimrock Lake in Washington state. The pilot sustained minor injuries after ejecting from the plane and was transported to the hospital, the Yakima County Sheriff's Office said. The crash sparked a fire in the area, prompting the evacuation of campers as firefighters worked to suppress it, officials said. The U.S. Marine Corps told CBS affiliate KIRO-TV in a statement that the crashed jet was an F/A-18 Hornet "assigned to Marine Aircraft Group 11, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing."
