The pilot of the F-35 that crashed at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar in San Diego, California, on Friday is in stable condition with non-life-threatening injuries. CBS News' Carter Evans has the details.

The U.S. Marine Corps says the pilot of an F-35B stealth fighter is expected to live after ejecting from the jet before it crashed in California. The jet went down Friday near the Miramar air base in San Diego.

A Marines statement called it a “Class A mishap.” That’s the most severe mishap category, used when the damage totals more than $2 million, an aircraft is destroyed or a service member killed.

The U.S. Marine Corps says an F-35B jet crashed near a Southern California air base, and the pilot has been taken to a medical facility.
