A US fighter pilot ejected to safety as their military jet crashed in a Lincolnshire field.
Emergency services were alerted by members of the public to the incident, involving an F-15 fighter plane, near Broadgate in Weston Hills, at about 3.30pm.
Police advised people to avoid the area as fumes from the burning plane may be hazardous.
A spokesman for USAF's 48 Fighter Wing based at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk confirmed one of its F-15s was involved in the incident during a training exercise.
He added: "The pilot ejected and is safe."
A Lincolnshire Police spokesman said: "The pilot appears to have escaped with very minor injury and has left the scene by helicopter.
"The plane has come down in an isolated rural area and no premises have been affected.
"A cordon has been put in place and the public are advised to avoid the area as the plane is alight and the fumes may be hazardous."
