Doron Lugasi, a 39-year-old Israeli, was killed in a parachuting competition in Peru Saturday after crashing into a mountain, Israel Radio reported.
According to Peruvian media, Lugasi participated in a championship parachuting competition in the city of Huancayo. He was slammed into a mountain slope by strong wind gusts and was severely injured by the impact. The medical teams' efforts to reach him were prolonged as result of his location, which delayed his evacuation to a local hospital. He later died of his injuries while at the hospital."
