A 50-year-old Rossville man lost his life Saturday afternoon in a hang-gliding crash in northwest Shawnee County, authorities said.
The victim was identified as Jeffery L. Glidewell.
Shawnee County Sheriff’s Sgt. Todd Stallbaumer said emergency crews were sent around 3:30 p.m. Saturday to the crash scene in the 3700 block of N.W. Davis Road.
When officers arrived, Stallbaumer said, they found a man lying unresponsive in a field.
Stallbaumer said the man was wearing a harness attached to a hang-glider.
