Milwaukee, WI : One man killed and 2 people hurt in crash sunday afternoon July 20 2014.

One man was killed and two others injured in two separate skydiving accidents Sunday in southern Wisconsin, authorities said.A 44-year-old Racine man died Sunday afternoon after his parachute apparently became entangled with the chute of another male skydiver in the air above the Sylvania Airport, immediately west of I-94 in the Town of Yorkville, Racine County Sheriff's Lt. Steve Sikora said.The man plunged to his death onto 56th Road adjacent to the airport shortly after 5:30 p.m. Sunday, Sikora said.The second man fell onto trees near the road and did not suffer serious injuries. No other information was available about the injured man, Sikora said.Deputies were dispatched to Skydive Midwest, 13851 56th Road, at 5:36 p.m. Sunday in response to a 911 call. Witnesses said the men missed their planned landing at Sylvania Airport.In the second accident, a female skydiver was injured Sunday morning when she missed her intended landing at the Fort Atkinson Municipal Airport in Jefferson County.

The accident occurred about 11:10 a.m. and resulted in closure of all lanes of southbound Highway 26 for about an hour as a Flight For Life helicopter landed on the highway, the state Department of Transportation reported.

The woman involved is an experienced skydiver in her mid-30s, according to the Jefferson Fire Department, which responded to the incident. She is an associate of the Wisconsin Skydiving Center in Jefferson and Fort Atkinson.She missed her targeted airport and pulled her primary parachute as well as her backup, Jefferson Fire Chief Ron Wegner said.

"She came up short of the airport, about three quarters of a mile to the west, and landed in a cornfield," he told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Sunday. "She apparently just pulled up late. There's no defect that we're aware of" with her parachute.As a precautionary measure, Flight For Life was called in to transport the woman to the University of Wisconsin hospital in Madison, he said, though the woman appeared to be OK and is expected to survive.
