A 47 year old Aylmer, ON man was airlifted to hospital yesterday afternoon May 18, 2014 after the paraglider he was flying crashed into a cliff just east of Port Bruce along the shores of Lake Erie. The crash occurred just after 2pm, just south of Dexter Line, when the experienced paraglider pilot lost control of the aircraft (parachute with seat) and stuck the side the cliff. Malahide Fire Services performed a steep angle rescue of the pilot who was then airlifted to hospital in serious condition.
Elgin County OPP continued to investigate the incident. Transport Canada is not investigating.
