Paramotor pilot killed in crash in Pilling field
A paramotor pilot has died after crashing into a field, police said.
The victim, believed to be in his 50s, crashed on land off Garstang Road, in Pilling, near Poutlon-le-Fylde, Lancashire at about 13:00 GMT on Sunday.
He was taken by ambulance to hospital but died a short time later.
Police said inquiries into what happened are continuing but at this stage it looked like an accident. The man's next of kin have been informed.
Paramotors comprise a harness-mounted engine which is worn like a backpack under a paraglider wing.
Unlike a standard paraglider, they can be launched from an open, flat field instead of a hill facing into the wind.
