TITUSVILLE, Fla. — The Brevard County Fire Rescue said two sky divers were flown to a hospital Wednesday morning after they landed in a front yard.

Firefighters said the sky divers fell from the sky and hit a tree in the front yard of a home in the 900 block of Tennessee Street in Titusville.

The sky divers were part of a tandem jump from a plane that took off from Dunn Airport, officials said.

The sky divers were treated at the scene and then flown to a trauma center, where they are in critical condition, firefighters said.

Officials said a parachute malfunction is being blamed.
