A PARACHUTIST has had a lucky escape after missing her landing zone and crashing into the roof of a house.
Firefighters were called to a cul-de-sac after the lucky female skydiver landed on the property at around 2pm yesterday, after missing her landing zone.
Along with firefighters, specialist rope rescue teams were also sent to the residential street in the village of Haxton near Salisbury, Wilts.
The woman, who suffered a “high impact injury,” was taken to hospital for a precautionary check and x-rays.
