A skydiver “crashed into the Lane Stadium scoreboard before Virginia Tech’s spring football game” on Saturday. Virginia Tech officials on X said that the skydiver “was safely secured and is currently stable” following rescue efforts. Virginia Tech officials in a statement said, “Our primary focus remains on their well-being. We extend our sincere appreciation to the first responders, event staff, and medical personnel for their swift, coordinated and professional response.” Video footage “showed the skydiver’s parachute landing between the ‘C’ and the ‘H’ on the Virginia Tech lettering on top of the scoreboard before first responders rescued him” (AP, 4/18).
