A man was airlifted to hospital in a serious condition after his glider crash landed at the Wakerie Airfield on Saturday afternoon.
A MAN aged 59 was airlifted to hospital in a serious condition after his glider crash landed in the Riverland on Saturday afternoon.
Authorities were called to the Waikerie Airfield at 3.45pm amid reports a glider had “crash landed”.
Witnesses reported to police how the pilot, who has not been named, may have crashed into vineyards near the airport, located almost 4km east of Waikerie.
Early reports suggested the man had minor injuries but police said his condition had rapidly detoriated.
Rescue crew were forced to cut the trapped pilot from the wreckage.
The man, believed to be aged in his 60s, was flown to the Royal Adelaide Hospital in a “serious” condition last night. No further details were available.
