Military aircraft crashes at Albuquerque airport in New Mexico

A military aircraft has crashed at Albuquerque International Sunport Airport in New Mexico, reports claim. 

Emergency crews were seen on the scene Tuesday afternoon, and the pilot - the only person in the plane - was reportedly conscious as they were transported away. 

Unconfirmed reports say the plane was an F-35 fighter jet that crashed during takeoff. The airport resumed flights shortly after, reports KRQE. 

It is unclear what caused the wreck, but witnesses told KOB4 that the aircraft appeared to have some kind of issues shortly before taking off from the runway.
