In reply to:
PHOENIX – A rescue team is responding to an apparent parachutist accident.
The Maricopa County Technical Rescue Team tells 3TV a parachutist-involved accident took place Sunday just before 2 p.m. near Bush Highway and Stuart Mountain Road.
MCSO spokesperson Doug Matteson tells 3TV a man was attempting to jump from either a plane or a base jump and fell 250 feet when his parachute failed to open.
There is no information on the extent of injuries at this time.
3TV has a crew on the way and azfamily.com will provide more information as it becomes available.
The name of the location, which I've edited out, seems to make it fairly certain this is not a plane accident, if the geographic description doesn't.
