ZEPHYRHILLS -- Police officials were investigating a fatal skydiving accident Sunday at Skydive City, a large training facility that hosts tens of thousands of jumps every year near the Zephyrhills Municipal Airport.
Investigators did not release details late Sunday, saying only it was an ongoing investigation.
The accident was reported by a 911 call at 5:02 p.m. at 4241 Skydive Lane, according to emergency dispatchers. The person was pronounced dead at the scene.
If you track back to the quonset hut-like structure at Sky Dive city, you can see a large gathering of people, probably gathering for news of the incident.
