And now, Preston and Steve's news update with Kathy Romano.

All right. Today is Thursday. It is May 11th. Good morning, Kathy.

Good morning in the news this morning. A man was killed in a skydiving accident in Gloucester County. A resident of the sterling development in Monroe Township witnessed the tragedy. At around 1 o'clock, the witnesses say that they saw the skydiver swirling down and that it almost looked like he wasn't awake. When the skydiver hit the ground, several neighbors in the development, including a nurse, ran over to help. But they said when they got there, there was nothing they could do. Details of what exactly happened are limited at this time. The plane

came out of the skydive cross keys, a skydiving center not far from the scene. A visibly

upset employee at the center confirmed that there was an accident on Wednesday.

And, Kath, you said they saw them swirling around. Did a shoot partially open at all? Did they say anything about that? Nope. They said he was swirling. And what he said is he looked like he wasn't awake. So I'm wondering if the guy didn't pass out. He, it's, there are a couple things that could happen. So my, my brother-in-law really got into skydiving. you can as you're leaving the plane your head, you know, you could have had an incident coming down. But I believe there is an automatic altitude. I don't know. I think you have to have that. Yeah. I mean, I don't know if all rigs have that or not. Well, and this guy obviously was experienced because he was by himself, right? You can't just go by yourself. Yeah, yeah.

He's had to have had several jumps, yeah.

Is that where you guys did the skydive?

Because that's where I did it. I didn't do it. I haven't done a skydive right now. You did it once, but I don't remember where you did. Mine was closer to like a brick New Jersey. I did it from that location and I did the tandem jumps.

Is that free fall adventures, I assume?

Is that by cross keys?

Cross keys, yeah, yeah.

And so, and when I jumped out of the plane, I did the tandem jumps. Freefall adventures, I assume?

Is that by cross keys?

Cross keys, yeah, yeah.

And when I jumped out of the plane, I had the guy that was on my back or whatever.

But, yeah, this is awful.

Yeah, skydive crosskeys.

So neighbors say that in Monroe Township, they say skydiving near them happens frequently

and that people are constantly jumping. There have been at least three skydiving near them happens frequently and that people are constantly jumping.

There have been at least three skydiving incidents out of that airport.
