BOSTON, Sept 27 — Two skydivers died yesterday after they crashed into a house garage in Massachusetts.
The incident happened at around 5.20pm as a skydiving instructor and a student took part in a tandem skydive, the Boston Globe reported.
The pair was supposed to land in a designated landing area at the Cape Cod Airfield, but went off course and crashed into a nearby garage.
They were both declared dead at Cape Cod Hospital. Police did not revealed the identity of the victims.
According to the Boston Globe, it was not clear if an equipment malfunction was to blame.
