A US military plane crashed in the residential neighbourhood of Lake Worth, Texas, injuring at least two people and damaging homes, according to authorities.
Lake Worth Fire Chief Ryan Arthur said two pilots were taken to hospital after ejecting off the plane on Sunday.
Police said one of the pilots' parachute tangled with power lines.
Arthur told a news conference that three homes were damaged, but no residents were hurt.
"This accident could have been much worse given that this plane went down in a residential area," he added.
Lake Worth is located in the Fort Worth area of North Texas.
