A paraglider was taken to hospital Saturday night after crashing into a field in Stoney Creek.
Emergency crews responded to McNeilly Road, a suburban area south of Highway 8, just before 8:40 p.m. for a medical call.
Hamilton police Acting Staff Sgt. Mark Miller said a male paraglider lost control, tumbled down onto a field and broke his leg.
The man, in his 60s, was taken to hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries, said Dave Thompson of the Hamilton Paramedic Service.
