Skydiver rescued after entanglement in Tracy power lines causing outage

A skydiver in Tracy, California, was rescued on Saturday after their parachute became entangled in high-tension power lines over a roadway. Firefighters from the South San Joaquin County Fire Authority responded to the incident and had to wait for Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) to de-energize the lines before safely conducting the rescue. The skydiver was suspended above the road but sustained only minor injuries and did not require hospitalization. The entanglement caused a temporary power outage affecting around 600 customers, which was restored after PG&E crews intervened. Officials expressed gratitude to PG&E for their assistance in securing the power and ensuring a safe rescue. Meanwhile, in Tennessee, a separate skydiving incident occurred where a skydiver got stuck in a tree, prompting a rope rescue effort due to the dense foliage.
