A man has died in hospital after a skydiving accident.

The man, said to be aged about 60, suffered multiple injuries in the accident on Wednesday morning.

It is thought his parachute failed to open when he made a jump at Hinton airfield near Brackley, on the border between Northamptonshire and Oxfordshire.

He was taken by air ambulance to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford where he later died.

The British Parachute Association and Northamptonshire Police are investigating the incident.
