No one was the ground was hurt?

Should " no one was the ground was hurt" be "no one on the ground was hurt"?

In the first incident, the Harrier AV-8B jet crashed into a residential community in Imperial, about 90 miles east of San Diego, Wednesday afternoon. It went down in a front yard, damaging three homes. The pilot ejected safely and no one was the ground was hurt, according to Marine officials.
