Skydiver dies in mid-air collision

11:05, Sep 23 2012

 

One man has died and another is in a serious condition after they collided while skydiving, the ambulance service said.

Emergency services went to Sibson, near Peterborough, shortly after 3.30pm on Saturday, the East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust (EEAST) said.

Despite EEAST and air ambulance crews working hard together to try to save one of the men's life, he was pronounced dead at the scene, a spokeswoman said.

Another man, in his late 20s, suffered serious spine and leg injuries and was flown to Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, where he arrived in a serious but stable condition.
