A veteran skydiver, 62-year-old Robert Szabo, tragically lost his life after he collided with another skydiver while jumping from a plane over Orange, Massachusetts.

As reported by WBZ-TV, the incident occurred on Saturday, October 4. During the afternoon, Szabo jumped from a Jumptown Skydiving plane. The skydiving center confirmed in a statement shared with the outlet that Szabo and another experienced skydiver collided mid-air.

Szabo managed to land on airport property “under a fully functioning parachute.” He was then transported to a Worcester hospital. Days later, on Tuesday, October 7, the 62-year-old from Connecticut sadly passed away.

The other skydiver was not injured as a result of the collision, Orange Fire Chief James Young confirmed.
