(CNN) -- A jet flying in formation with the U.S. Navy Blue Angels precision flying team crashed Saturday during an air show near Beaufort, South Carolina, authorities said.
The Beaufort County coroner's office told CNN there is one confirmed fatality.
There had been indications the pilot may have survived the crash. "I was told [the pilot] was alive, but I can't confirm that," a South Carolina state trooper speaking on condition of anonymity told CNN.
There were conflicting reports about the crash site.
According to a reporter from a local television station, the plane crashed into some homes, setting them on fire.
However, the state trooper said the crash is said to "not be around any houses." He said the highway patrol was helping the Marine Corps Air Station, which was hosting the show, by rerouting traffic in the area "so they can get the pilot out."
Several hospitals said they had received no casualties.
Eyewitness Gerald Popp said the six jets had been flying for about five minutes before one of them turned south, toward the Broad River.
"I saw him go down lower than the trees, and next I saw a big black cloud of smoke," said Popp, who lives in Beaufort.
CNN meteorologists said the weather in Beaufort, which is near Savannah, was clear today.
The last crash involving the Blue Angels was in 1999 in south Georgia. Two pilots were killed when their F/A-18 jet crashed while trying to land during a training flight.
