The accident happened in the town of Eloy, at SkyDive Arizona. It's the largest drop zone for skydivers in the world.
The company promotes group skydives on its website, and had a group of more than 60 women perform a dive just last weekend.
A seasoned jumper who has landed at SkyDive Arizona hundreds of times told KGUN an accident like this is incredibly rare.
"Of course it's very rare. I would say one in tens of thousands. ... It's terrible, I'm trying to find out if it's one of my friends."
Police have not yet released the names of those involved in the crash. According to KSAZ, police said the skydivers are not from the U.S.
