Paraglider rescued after striking cliffs
Two paragliders dropped in mid-air by the Torrey Pines Gliderport at about 4:15 p.m., soaring to the ground and resulting in the injury of one individual.
A lifeguard spokesman reported that one of the paragliders was able to land without an issue at the correct gliderport while the other, a 39-year-old male, smashed into the cliffs.
Rescuers had to scale down the cliffside to make the man ready to be transported by helicopter to Scripps Mercy Hospital in San Diego around 6:15 p.m.
The lifeguard spokesman added that he was in stable condition, but had serious trauma wounds to his shoulder and arm.
