ANGLESEY, Wales — Two Royal Air Force pilots ejected from a Hawk T2 training jet that crashed shortly after takeoff from RAF Valley on Wednesday, police and the air force said.

North Wales Police said the crew of the T2 Hawk were being treated for what were thought to be minor injuries after the aircraft came down in the Pencarnisiog area of Anglesey. The force said there were no reports of wider damage or other injuries and asked the public to stay away. Helicopters from the Coastguard and the Wales Air Ambulance were sent to the scene near the base. BBC Wales reported the pilots were taken to Birmingham for treatment, where two air ambulances later landed at Queen Elizabeth Hospital, home of the Royal Centre for Defence Medicine.
