Jean, NV (KTNV) -- Emergency crews were called to a fatal accident at a Valley skydiving business this weekend.

It happened Saturday at Sin City Skydiving in Jean, about 20 minutes south of Las Vegas.

The victim has been identified as 51-year-old Richard Frazer of Las Vegas.

The Clark County Coroner's Office has confirmed to Action News his cause of death was multiple blunt force trauma due to bad atmospheric conditions from a dust devil, which did not allow the parachute to lift properly.

Action News will post more details on the situation as they become available.
