2 Navy pilots eject before jet crashes in Texas

PREMONT, Texas — A Navy instructor and a student pilot ejected themselves from a T-45 Goshawk before it crashed in a South Texas field during a training flight from Naval Air Station Kingsville.

Investigators are trying to determine what caused the T-45 to crash Sunday night in a rural area near Premont, about 17 miles southwest of Kingsville.

Naval Air Station Corpus Christi spokeswoman Lt. J.G. Liz Feaster says one pilot suffered minor injuries and was still being treated Monday, while the other pilot was not injured.
