A skydiver was hit by a light plane piloted by an 87-year-old man in Florida as both were about to land yesterday - and both survived.

Skydiver John Frost was catapulted through the air after the light aircraft cut through his parachute strings.

The plane nosedived into the ground, a few metres below.

Both men escaped with only minor injuries
