2 skydivers dead after colliding during US jump

Police say two skydivers are dead after they collided during a jump over southern Arizona.

Eloy police Sgt. Brian Jerome says witnesses told authorities both skydivers had open parachutes when they collided about 200 to 300 feet (60 to 90 meters) above the ground Tuesday afternoon. At that point, their canopies collapsed and they fell. Jerome says one person was pronounced dead at the scene. The other was taken to Casa Grande Regional Medical Center and was pronounced dead there. (AP)
