Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue members assisted an injured paraglider on Monday morning.

A DCSO report said at 10:00 a.m. the 46-year-old man called dispatch to say he had injured himself while paragliding on the North Bank Habitat, northeast of Roseburg. The man said he couldn’t walk any further and was in need of assistance. Emergency medical providers asked SAR to help the man get to a waiting ambulance. He was loaded up on a wheeled stokes basket and transported to CHI Mercy Medical Center with the assistance of Glide Rural Fire Protection District, Umpqua Valley Ambulance and SAR members.

A deputy transported the man’s dog back to its residence, since the man was being taken by ambulance.
