One person has been taken to hospital after a glider crashed on the Herefordshire border.
Dyfed-Powys Police and the Welsh Air Ambulance were called, alongside Longtown Mountain Rescue, to the incident in the Black Mountains on Tuesday afternoon.
A spokesperson for Longtown Mountain Rescue said:
“Yesterday afternoon the team were called by Heddlu Dyfed-Powys Police to a report of a crashed Glider in the Black Mountains.
“Also in attendance were our Wales Air Ambulance Charity colleagues who treated the pilot for their injuries and transported them to Hospital.
“The Glider is located on a footpath, we would ask anyone that does come across the Glider in the Black Mountains to leave the site undisturbed.
“The accident has been reported to the Police and relevant authorities.
“We wish the pilot a speedy recovery.”
Longtown Mountain Rescue Team is a voluntary organisation that responds to requests from the police for assistance in the Black Mountains of South Wales and into Herefordshire for injured and missing people.
The Team is on-call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and relies entirely on donations from members of the public to carry out this essential life-saving rescue service.
