One Navy SEAL is dead and another has been injured after they collided in mid-air during a parachute training exercise in the Arizona desert, according to ABC News.
The SEALs were doing "routine military free-fall training," according to Kenneth McGraw, a spokesman for U.S. Special Operations Command.
The incident occurred over the U.S. Special Operations Command parachute testing and training facility at Pinal Airpark, Arizona, according to CNN.
An official who released information on condition of anonymity reported that the other SEAL is in stable condition at University of Arizona Medical Center, USA Today reports.
The tragedy comes only 10 days after a training accident in Nevada, when seven Marines were killed when a mortar round exploded inside the tube.
