California witnessed a thrilling incident, as an American Navy F-35 fighter jet crashed near the Naval Air Station Lemoore yesterday evening, with the pilot miraculously escaping unharmed by safely ejecting with a parachute, according to an official statement from the US Navy.

The statement reported that the incident occurred around 6:30 p.m., and investigations are ongoing to determine the causes of the crash. The jet belonged to the VF-125 fighter squadron known as the 'Rough Raiders,' which is responsible for training pilots and aircraft crews.
