(KMJ) – The California Highway Patrol says officers began chasing a car driving the wrong way on Highway 198 around midnight Thursday.  That chase eventually found its way onto the base of Naval Air Station Lemoore.

There, the Navy and CHP say the vehicle slammed into a parked F/A-18E Super Hornet fighter jet.  That impact killed the passenger.  The driver was rushed to the hospital but later died from his injuries.
