The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department closed sections of Opportunity Way and Van Buren Boulevard, as well as on- and off-ramps for Van Buren at the 215 Freeway.

Inspections will be performed on the fighter plane and businesses in the building that was struck: See Water Inc. and Bous Performance.

Crews worked the location of the crash for nearly two weeks. An investigation has been ongoing.

The plane apparently was having trouble with its hydraulics, which help control the movement of the aircraft. The pilot ejected before crashing and was hospitalized for treatment of minor injuries. Twelve people on the ground were treated at hospitals. Six sheriff’s deputies were treated at the scene after exposure to debris.
