PROVO, Utah — Law enforcement and first responders who worked to rescue a man who crashed while paragliding in Provo Canyon on Sunday say the victim has died from his injuries.
The Utah County Sheriff's Office said they received a call around 6 p.m. from the man, who said he crashed on the north side of the canyon into a narrow ravine near Mount Timpanogos.
Helicopters with LifeFlight and the Utah Department of Public Safety were sent out to look for the man, whose exact location was not known. He was reportedly in a remote area and in very steep terrain.
Shortly before 8:30 p.m., the sheriff's office said he had been found. But, on Monday, the office stated that he had succumbed to his injuries from the crash.
The Utah County Sheriff's Office and Utah Medical Examiner's Office are now investigating the death.
The victim's name isn't being released as officials work to notify his next-of-kin.
