(CNN) -- A military aircraft crashed in eastern
England on Wednesday, and the pilot ejected and survived with a minor
injury, police in Lincolnshire said.
The plane was a U.S. Air
Force F-15, a U.S. Defense Department official told CNN on condition of
anonymity. Lincolnshire police didn't name the country to which the
plane belonged or release the pilot's name or nationality.
The crash happened in
Weston Hill, police said. A cordon was put in place around the fiery
wreckage, and the public was advised to avoid the area because of
concerns that the fumes may be hazardous, police said.
After the ejection, the
pilot was taken away by helicopter, police said. Details about what led
to the crash weren't immediately released.
