A hang glider crashed and its seriously injured pilot had to be hoisted off a mountain by firefighters Sunday.
The rescue was at about 10:30 a.m. on a mountain north of Soboba Flight Park near San Jacinto, said Jody Hagemann of the Riverside County Fire Department.
A helicopter crew hoisted the adult male from the remote region and transported him to an awaiting ground ambulance, she said.
He was hospitalized with serious injuries.
