Paraglider Rescued From Powerlines

First responders rescued a paragliding accident victim in Wellfleet.

Crews were called out to Newcomb Hollow Beach around 11:30 Thursday morning after a likely entanglement, but few details have emerged so far.

The original paragliding site in the Northeast is no stranger to such accidents.

A paraglider got tangled in power lines at White Crest Beach almost exactly five years ago and another paragliding accident at the same beach five years before that sent a man to Cape Cod Hospital with injuries.
