A Mirage F-1 fighter jet has crashed today in La Roda, near Albacete today.

The pilot, named as Pedro M.M. with seven years flying experience managed to parachute to escape and is now recovering from his injuries in the General Hospital in Albacete. He is not seriously hurt.

An airforce spokesman said that it was thought the crash was caused by a technical error, and the plane came down in an uninhabited area.
