(ABC 4 News/AP) --A 30-year old woman skydiving for the first time was killed Saturday afternoon at Ogden City Airport while her family watched.
Police identified the victim as Julia Bond of Evanston, Wyoming. Her instructor, Jon Vancleave of Roy, also was injured in the tandem skydive accident.
Ogden Fire Department Battalion Chief Steve Splinter says there's some question about what caused the accident. Some witnesses said a gust of wind caught the pair was they were coming down, and pushed them into a building. Others says the pair missed the building, but the wind caused the parachute to collapse and they dropped about 20 feet.
The Federal Aviation Administration will investigate.
Splinter says Bond was flown by medical helicopter to McKay-Dee Hospital Center in Ogden with severe head trauma and chest injuries. She was pronounced dead about an hour after the three o'clock accident.
He says Vancleave is in stable but serious condition at the University of Utah Hospital in Salt Lake City. Splinter says the instructor suffered head trauma and multiple fractures.
