Police: 1 Skydiver Dead, 1 Critically Hurt After Parachute Fails On Long Island

CALVERTON, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — A skydiver was killed and another was seriously injured on Long Island on Wednesday when their parachute failed to open, CBS 2’s Hazel Sanchez reported.

Around 4 p.m. Wednesday, two jumpers believed to be involved in a tandem jump at Skydive Long Island in Calverton somehow ended up in a free fall, police said.

One of the divers was killed as the pair struck the ground. The other jumper, who was positioned on top, survived the impact but is listed in critical condition after being airlifted to Stony Brook University Hospital.
