SAN DIEGO (AP) — A skydiver found dead after a collision with another parachutist in eastern San Diego County has been identified as the 27-year-old brother-in-law of NASCAR driver Jimmie Johnson.

The county medical examiner's office says in a statement Monday that Jordan Jor-El Janway died Sunday while skydiving with two others at Jamul (hah-mool). Janway collided with one of the other jumpers during freefall, failed to open his parachute and impacted the ground.
