Overview
- Emergency services received a report at around 1:20 p.m. on Wednesday and firefighters from Tremp and Sort located the seriously injured 63-year-old British man, who was later pronounced dead at the scene.
- Two Medical Emergency System (SEM) teams provided care after firefighters found the pilot and the Mossos d'Esquadra deployed patrols from Citizen Security and Investigation units to the site.
- Multiple outlets report the pilot became entangled in power lines, but officials say the cause has not been legally confirmed and a police investigation is ongoing with the death being treated as an accident by sources.
- The UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office confirmed it is supporting the victim's family and regional authorities have not released the man's identity publicly.
- Palau de Noguera lies close to Àger, a recognized paragliding hotspot, and the incident follows recent fatal accidents in the province, which could prompt safety reviews of power-line marking and local flying procedures.
