A woman died after her parachute failed to open while she was sky diving in northern England, police say.
Paramedics
rushed to the scene of the crash Saturday in Shotton Colliery, County
Durham, after the 49-year-old plummeted from the aircraft, Durham
Constabulary said in a statement.
The woman, from the nearby town of Hebburn, was taken to hospital, where she died.
"The
lady who has died was using her own equipment and was making her first
sky dive in this country, having previously made parachute jumps
abroad," he said.
