British Paraglider Dies in Spain’s Catalonia Region After Accident A 63 year old British man has died after a paragliding accident in Spain’s north eastern Catalonia region, according to local authorities. Emergency teams were called to Palau de Noguera, near the town of Tremp, at around 13:30 local time on Wednesday. The area sits close to Àger, a well known spot in the Pyrenees popular with paragliders and hang gliders. Rescuers reached the man after the crash and found him seriously injured. They gave first aid at the scene. Medical teams arrived soon after, but he could not be saved and was later confirmed dead. The UK Foreign Office said it is supporting the family following the death of a British citizen in Spain. Accident area and response Palau de Noguera lies in a mountainous region often used for adventure sports. Local reports suggest the man may have become tangled in power lines before hitting the ground, although officials have not confirmed the cause. Catalan emergency services deployed three fire brigades and two medical units to the scene. Police from the Mossos d’Esquadra also worked with several investigation and public safety teams to manage the response. Authorities are expected to formally inform the family through British consular channels.
