JEAN, Nev. (AP) - Authorities say a person has died while skydiving in windy weather south of Las Vegas.

KLAS-TV reports the incident happened Saturday near the small town of Jean.

The Clark County coroner's office says the person's parachute did open, but windy weather was a factor in the death.
