Skydiver becomes stuck in power lines in Riverside County

A skydiver was miraculously able to walk away seemingly unscathed after jumping from an aircraft and becoming stuck in power lines Monday.

Riverside County firefighters responded to a call of a reported traumatic injury around 11:55 a.m. in the 31900 block of Corydon Street, located between Lake Elsinore and Wildomar.

Fire authorities then called in a truck company to assist with an aerial rescue. Once the truck arrived at the scene, the skydiver was pulled by an aerial ladder from the high-tension lines.

The skydiver was evaluated at the scene and declined medical treatment.
