SAN FRANCISCO – A mother and her young daughter were taken to the hospital after a U.S. Navy paratrooper landed on them Sunday during a Fleet Week air show in San Francisco, officials said.
The San Francisco Fire Department said the mother and daughter were taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
The paratrooper was from the Navy’s Leap Frog team and landed in the crowd.
“Our thoughts are with the individual and their family. Safety is our first priority. We cannot immediately assess what happened, but we will review this incident to determine the cause,” the Navy said in a statement.
There were no reports of other injuries, including to the parachutist.
Sunday’s performances started at 12:30 p.m., with the Blue Angels kicking off at 3 p.m. afterward canceled on Saturday because the fog creates unsafe conditions.
