    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    A fighter jet crashed north of San Diego late Thursday night, with the fate of its pilot not immediately known, authorities said.

    The accident involving an F/A-18 Hornet, based out of Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, happened at 11:54 PST, the base said in a statement.

    The crash site is “on government property east of the air station and there are no indications of damage to property on the ground,” the Marine Corp statement added.

    A  San Diego Fire-Rescue Department helicopter helped in the search between 3:48 a.m. and 4:21 a.m. and ground crews were on the scene near Interstate 15 until 6 a.m., officials said.

    The jet that crashed is not attached to that wing, but it had been operating out of the air station, according to the Marine Corps.

    The base is about 15 miles north of downtown San Diego.
