MULBERRY
Two men were hurt Saturday morning when a plane collided with the parachute of a skydiver in Mulberry. The Polk County Sheriff's Office says the pilot, 87-year-old Sharon Trembley, a World War II veteran,
was doing touch-and-goes in his private Cessna at the South Lakeland Airport; that's when a plane touches down briefly then takes off again. During his third pass, the passenger side wing of his plane clipped a
skydiver's parachute, cutting the chute and tossing the skydiver into the air about 75-feet above the ground.
