Experienced skydiver landing goes wrong near Singleton

BY JESSICA ROUSE

An elderly man was flown to the John Hunter Hospital yesterday after a sky diving accident at Elderslie near Singleton.

The 83-year-old man, who was an experienced sky diver, "landed heavily" following a solo jump.

The Westpac Rescue Helicopter was called to the incident shortly after 1pm where the man was taken to hospital in a stable condition with a broken femur.
