Jeep crashes into F/A-18 Fighter Jet after police chase in Fresno

Описание: Fresno - How does an SUV fleeing the police get inside a U.S. Navy base and take out a $60 million top of the line fighter jet? That's the question officials at Naval Station Lemoore outside Fresno, California, are trying to figure out after a Jeep Grand Cherokee racing away from a California Highway Patrol traffic stop got 7 miles inside the Navy installation late Wednesday and crashed into the tail section of an F/A-18 Super Hornet.

Navy and California Highway Patrol officials said at a press conference Thursday that two people were in the Jeep, a male driver and female passenger, both were killed in the crash.

The air station's commander, Capt. Monty Ashliman, said neither of the occupants of the Jeep had a military affiliation and it was not a targeted attack on the base.
