Desperate search for pilot as two Mirage fighter jets crash

Two French Mirage fighter jets have collided in mid-air prompting a massive search for the pilots.

The jets crashed this Wednesday morning in the Autreville area, on the border between Vosges and Meurthe-et-Moselle, south of Colombey-les-Belles in northeastern France.

One pilot who ejected during the incident has been located, according to French media who said the soldier was injured but conscious.

French firefighters did not know if there was more crew on the aircraft or the location of the pilot of the other plane.

Police, firefighters, and the forestry service were all involved in the search.
