State police have confirmed an F-16 fighter jet crashed earlier today in a wooded area south of Beauregard Parish, Louisiana. The location is roughly 50 miles south of the U.S. Army's Fort Polk. The incident occurred around 11:15 AM local time.
The pilot, who has yet to be identified, was able to eject safely from the aircraft before the crash and made it out with no major injuries. There are conflicting reports as to which unit the F-16 is from.
We will continue to update this story as new information becomes available.
