Default P-3 DOWN

KABUL, Afghanistan - The U.S. military says that a U.S. Navy patrol plane
overshot the runway at an airfield in Afghanistan and was destroyed.

A crew member broke an ankle, but the rest of the crew survived the Tuesday
crash. The military's statement does not give further details on who was
onboard the aircraft.

The statement says a Navy P-3 Orion airplane sustained "serious structural
and fire damage" at Bagram Airfield, the main U.S. military base north of
Kabul.

The military says it is investigating the accident.
