BERKELEY COUNTY, SC (WCSC) -


The pilot of an F-16 fighter jet has been rescued following a mid-air collision with a Cessna C-150 11 miles north of Charleston, according to Berkeley County Rescue Squad officials.


County officials say the crash happened near Old Highway 52 at Lewisfield Plantation in Moncks Corner at approximately 11:30 a.m. 


Berkeley County Rescue Squad Chief Bill Salisbury said witnesses reported the F-16 hit the Cessna "broadside."


Salisbury said the F-16 pilot ejected safely and is okay.


Meanwhile, there is no official word on how many people were on the second plane. The Berkeley County Rescue Squad says the fuselage of the Cessna has been located and debris is scattered across a rice field. They say rescue swimmers and the Coast Guard are searching for additional survivors.


Law enforcement officers blocked off roads near O.T. Wallace Boulevard and say additional road closures may occur as additional debris is located. Anyone who finds debris from the crash should call 911 immediately so the debris can be collected.


Shaw Air Force Base confirmed the F-16 Fighting Falcon was stationed there and that the pilot is accounted for. In a statement, Shaw officials say a team of investigators will work to determine the cause of the accident.
