Nobody was injured after a paraglider crashed at Del Rio Woods Beach east of Healdsburg this morning. At approximately 9:20 a.m. today, the Sheriff’s Office received a call of a paraglider crash at Del Rio Woods Beach, just off of South Fitch Mountain Road. A Geyserville man was paragliding south from Geyserville. He clipped some power lines near Del Rio Woods Beach and crash landed on the beach. Power was shut off in the area due to the damaged power lines. Luckily, the man was not hurt. He removed the parachute from the trees and walked away. Local fire and medical crews responded, including Healdsburg Fire Department. The man was medically evaluated and released at the scene. PG&E crews are on scene repairing the lines and expect power to be back on soon. Please avoid the area to allow crews room to work on the narrow roads. Prepared by: Misti D.
