I heard that it crashed in a suburban area in San Diego and apparently the pilot ejected and survived, although that info comes from PPRuNe so you can treat it with a grain of salt or two.

One person is still missing after a military jet crashed into a suburban San Diego neighbourhood, destroying two houses and killing three people.
