NINE skydivers have jumped free of their plane before it crashed in Spain killing the pilot and another of their companions, local authorities said today.
Four of the surviving parachutists were hurt in the fall, two of them seriously, a spokeswoman for the local sub-prefecture in the central region of Toledo, said.
She said the cause of the accident was not yet known and was still being investigated.
The plane crashed yesterday afternoon near an airfield in the Lillo area.
Spanish media citing rescuers said the parachute-jumpers broke free after the plane lost a wing and went into free-fall.
The reports said the team had been filming an advertisement for British television.
The parachutist who died was Brazilian and the pilot Spanish.
The other skydivers were of various nationalities.
