A small plane crash in Wisconsin prompts an immediate response from nearby skydivers who witnessed the incident and jumped in to help. The single-engine aircraft carrying four people crashes in a cornfield near East Troy, according to reports.
The skydivers—who are described as having training as paramedics—prepare for a recreational jumping session when they see the crash. They rush to the scene and provide treatment to at least one seriously injured person while waiting for ground-based rescue crews to arrive. Occupants of a Skydive Milwaukee aircraft are among those who witness the crash, the accounts say.
All outlets agree the skydivers’ intervention lasts until emergency personnel take over. The reports differ mainly in emphasis and wording, with one outlet highlighting the group’s paramedic training and the other describing the decision as “heroic,” but both describe the same sequence: witnessing the crash, jumping to assist, helping survivors, and handing off to arriving emergency services.
