Two U.S. Navy T-45 Goshawk training aircraft collided in mid-air over Texas Monday morning, but fortunately no one was seriously injured.

The incident occurred over Ricardo at about 11 a.m., according to a message posted to the Chief of Naval Air Training’s social media accounts.

One Goshawk was able to land safely at Naval Air Station Kingsville, Texas, while the other aircraft’s instructor and student ejected about nine miles south of the base, according to the post.

The instructor pilot was taken to Christus Spohn Hospital Kleberg in Kingsville for what the post described as minor injuries, according to officials.

The Navy asked the public to “not attempt to move or touch any aircraft debris,” and to call 361-516-6303 to report the location of debris.

Both jets belonged to Training Squadron 22, which is based at NAS Kingsville.

Monday’s mishap follows the crash of another Goshawk in March.

In that incident, the student and instructor were able to safely eject and sustained minor injuries, the Navy said at the time.
