On July 9, 2012, at 1700 UTC, a Cessna 208, Brazilian registration PT-OQR, was substantially damaged when it collided with a parachutist during a local skydiving flight from Boituva Airport (SDOI), Boituva Municipality, Sao Paulo, Brazil. The parachutist sustained fatal injuries during the collision. The pilot was not injured; however, the other two parachutists sustained serious injuries. According to preliminary information from the government of Brazil, the aircraft was performing its tenth skydiving flight of the day, when the accident occurred.
