Emergency services received a report of the accident just after 1 p.m. near Postweg near Texel International Airport. “A parachutist made a jump and landed roughly,” a police spokesperson said.
The condition of the parachutist is unclear, according to the spokesperson. He was transported to hospital with unknown injuries. His parachute would have been open.
According to a witness, the paratrooper was slightly injured and seemed ‘fine’. The trauma helicopter that was deployed was called because no ambulance was available.
