Colombey-les-Belles, France:

Two Rafale fighter jets collided in the air before crashing to the ground in northeastern France on Wednesday, civil and military authorities said.

A search for one of the crew was underway. The two jets were from the Saint-Dizier air base, an air force spokesman in Paris told AFP.

One of the pilots ejected, he said.

But an instructor and a student pilot from the second aircraft were still missing.

“We are still looking for the second crew,” the spokesperson said.

The accident occurred in Colombey-les-Belles, a city in northeastern France, according to the city hall.
