Paraglider recovering after Comeragh Mountains Crash


A paraglider is recovering from minor injuries after he was involved in a crash in the Comeragh Mountains on Saturday afternoon.

Two members of a Clonmel Mountaineering Club, Gerard Sheehy and Pat Beardmore were out walking in the mountains when the paraglider flying over them crashed into the summit of Seefin Mountain, overlooking the Kilbrien and Kilrossanty areas of County Waterford at about 1-30pm.

The pair who are part of the Clonmel Peaks Mountaineering Club immediately ran the emergency services and in less than an hour the injured man was removed to hospital.
