Skydivers Die After Colliding About 150 Feet Above California

Two skydivers died after they collided with each other midair over southern California, the company organising their jump said. Lake Elsinore-based Skydive Elsinore said the experienced skydivers had a “normal and uneventful” start to their descent shortly before noon on Friday until their parachutes became tangled. As they were preparing to land, the pair struck each other about 150 feet above the ground, causing their parachutes to snag.

The pair was rushed to hospital, where they were pronounced dead. The skydivers, who have not been publicly identified, had been visiting from "out of town," the company said.
