There is no evidence of foul play, according to authorities. The skydive business said the two women encountered turbulence before they made a 'hard landing.'
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating a skydiving accident in Riverside County in which an instructor and her student died after a 'dust devil' reportedly sent them crashing into the ground. Instructor Devrey LaRiccia and her student, Kayla Black, showed no problems when they made their tandem jump Aug. 2, according to eyewitnesses who saw them perform a normal free-fall jump.
The women were found in a open field near the airport in the 2000 block of Goetz Road in Perris shortly after 2:30 p.m., according to sheriff's officials. The pair were rushed to the hospital, where they died from their injuries. LaRiccia died less than an hour after the accident and Black died Sunday, according to officials. Skydive Perris said it is cooperating with authorities and the Riverside County Sheriff's Office said there was no evidence of foul play.
