Police were called to a home regarding two adult males who fell from the sky and struck a tree in someone’s front yard. Video posted by Christina Renfroe to social media showed the pair spinning through the air during a parachute malfunction before their rough landing at a home on Tennessee Street.
Titusville police say the plane originated at Dunn airport. Both victims were transported by helicopter to a local hospital in critical condition.
