Perris Valley, CA

Jan Jensen, a 32 year old from Denmark has been confirmed as the man who was killed in that tragic skydiving accident this past weekend near the Perris Valley Airport.

We can also now confirm that Canadian military members acted as paramedics right after the crash occurred. Critically injured with Turci Yuri, a 34-year-old Italian man. Yuri is also fighting for his life in an area hospital.

Apparently several dozen members of the Canadian Special Forces were at Perris Valley Skydiving at the time of the accident.

The two victims collided near the end of the jump, and both got entangled and ended up in what is known as a "death" spiral for several hundred yards.

The Perris police are investigating, and so is the National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration.

More details as they emerge.  Share your thoughts in my comment section below!
