Second hang glider rescued near the Mirador del Río

Another hang glider has had to be rescued by an emergency helicopter after landing in a mountainous area near the Mirador del Río.

The 67-year-old pilot of the hang glider was evacuated by a helicopter, which then took him to the airport before he was transferred to the hospital in Arrecife. No information has been given on his condition.

It is the second rescue of a hang glider in a week, following the incident on Montañá Tinasoria last Sunday.
