A woman miraculously survived after falling nearly one mile to the ground in a skydiving incident in Canada, according to reports.
The 30-year-old, who has not been named, suffered a broken back in the 1.5km fall on Saturday but police have said she is expected to survive.
A witness of the incident, near Trois-Rivières, Quebec, told CBC he saw the woman "falling faster than anyone else".
"It's a miracle," Denis Demers said on Wednesday.
"I don't know how a person can survive a fall from an aeroplane like that."
He said the woman's parachute did not open, however details of how that happened are unclear.
She then fell into a wooded area, according to CBC.
The woman is recovering in hospital with several fractures including broken vertebrae, according to 7news.
Investigations into the incident are underway.
