A person has died and a second has life-threatening injuries following a skydiving crash in Torquay this afternoon.

Victoria Police said the pair were doing a tandem jump when they got into difficulty and crash-landed in a paddock on Fishers Road shortly before 1pm.

One person died at the scene. Paramedics treated the other, who Ambulance Victoria believe to be a man in his 50s, who was then flown to Alfred Hospital in a critical condition.

Police will prepare a report for the coroner.
