Experienced parachutists Randy Hubbs and Nicole Klein were part of an 11-person jump on Sunday in Ritzville, some 180 miles east of Seattle, the Adams County Sheriff\u2019s Office said in a statement Tuesday.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cAt approximately 1,000 feet above the ground, and with neither jumper aware of the other\u2019s position, the two parachutes came into contact,\u201d West Plains Skydiving said in a press release reported by NBC News local affiliate KHQ-TV.<\/p>\n

The impact left Hubbs \u201cincapacitated\u201d and \u201cno longer in control of his parachute canopy,\u201d the sheriff\u2019s office said. Skydiving staff saw him 500 feet up, unresponsive with his head and arms down and drifting north away from the drop zone, it added.<\/p>\n

Hubbs was found dead at the scene and Klein suffered \u201cinjuries requiring additional treatment at a medical facility,\u201d it said in a previous statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Skydive West Plains community is mourning the loss of a friend who has been part of the drop zone family for nearly a decade,\u201d the company said. \u201cThe team\u2019s thoughts are also with the second jumper and her family as she recovers.\u201d <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Before the incident on Sunday, Hubbs had completed more than 800 jumps and Klein more than 900, West Plains Skydiving said according to KHQ. Weather was not a contributing factor in the collision, police said. They said the investigation remains ongoing.<\/p>\n

On social media, friends paid tribute to Hubbs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m heartbroken,\u201d wrote a person named Sam Ormson in a public post. \u201cBut every now and then I have to shake my head, sigh, and smile, because somehow a skydiving exit feels exactly like Randy. I miss you my friend.\u201d<\/p>\n
