SAN JACINTO (CBSLA.com) — Authorities say a paraglider was killed Sunday after striking some live power lines in San Jacinto.

The accident occurred Sunday afternoon before 1:40 p.m., according to officials.

The unidentified paraglider was in a remote mountainside area of Riverside County — near Soboba Road — at the time of the accident.

Riverside County Fire spokeswoman Jody Hagemann said a rescue helicopter flew to the paraglider’s rescue but he died of his injuries.

My dad’s second wife’s youngest son died the same way more than thirty years ago. He was on a hang glider, being towed by a car, and ran into some power lines.

He was dead before he hit the ground.

Nope. Some of us are still here, fighting the good fight against liberal insanity.

But given the outcome of the last election, it’s only a matter of time before we wind up our affairs and escape.
