Around 1:30 this afternoon, authorities say Washoe County Dispatch
received report of a hang glider down in the area Slide Mountain.

Washoe County Sheriff's deputies responded to the call, along with the Truckee
Meadows Fire Department, Lake Tahoe Fire Department, and the Hasty team, as well
as Search and Rescue crews, and RAVEN.

Through the use of RAVEN, officials say they were able to get a rescue team out
to the victim.

The fire department was able to access the hang glider by use of ATVs, officials
said.

Crews say they have located the victim and he is deceased; at this point,
efforts turn to recovering the body and furthering the investigation.

Authorities say is a very popular area for hang gliders; many of hang gliders
who recreate in this area are very experienced and there is a lot of steep,
difficult terrain.

Just after 4:30 this afternoon, RAVEN left the parking lot of the Mount Rose Ski
Area in an attempt to recover the body and transported it to the medical
examiner for identification.
