HAVELOCK, N.C. — A Marine jet has crashed near a base in eastern North Carolina, killing the pilot.
Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point spokesman Mike Barton said the single-seat AV-8B Harrier crashed about 12:15 p.m. in woods near one of the base's two runways. Local authorities say the crash did not affect any of the few homes in the area.
Officials said the crash occurred about 12:15 p.m. in woods off N.C. Highway 101, not far from a terminal for a state Department of Transportation ferry that crosses the Neuse River.
Another Harrier crashed in February near the base, but the pilot wasn't injured.
