Emergency crews rescued a paraglider after he became trapped in power lines near the Yuba County Airport.
Just after 5 p.m. Wednesday, the Yuba County Sheriff's Office says they got a call about a paraglider who had crashed on Sky Harbor Drive near Arboga Road.
The paraglider was struggling to land in the area when he became entangled in nearby power lines, according to the sheriff's office.
Fire officials say the trapped man was with another paraglider before he hit the wires. Jimmy Comstock, who lives feet away, said he saw both before they were separated.
“I seen two of them coming. And one went that way and the other come over the trees, dipped down in the road then tried to get out of the road and then hit the wires,” Comstock told FOX40.
Officials say the paraglider who crashed was conscious, alert and talking to emergency personnel when they arrived. It did not appear he sustained any major injuries.
