Police are still looking for a parachutist who reportedly got stuck on power lines on Monday night.

Emergency services – including the police helicopter – were out searching for the individual yesterday evening after a member of the public called 999 at around 7pm to report a parachutist stuck on electricity pylons.

A Wiltshire Police spokesman said: “We attended the area near M4 near Chippenham junction.

“With the help from the police helicopter, a search of the area was carried out but there was no parachutist to be seen.”

The force has appealed for the downed sky diver to come forward to confirm they are safe.
