Associated Press

CORVALLIS, Mont. — A Ravalli Republic photographer suffered a broken arm when he was hit by a skydiver while photographing the University of Montana spring football scrimmage today.

Sepp Jannotta was shooting pictures of the Silvertip skydiving team from the 50-yard line of the Corvallis High School football field when the skydiver crashed into him, Loren Hochhalter with the Ravalli County sheriff's department told the Missoulian.

The incident happened just before the 1 p.m. kick-off.

Jannotta was treated at a Hamilton hospital. The skydiver was not injured.
