A paraglider died Saturday morning after his aircraft crashed in a wooded area in South Carolina, authorities said.

The Greenville County Sheriff's office said it received a 911 call around 8 a.m. EDT of a paraglider crash in Cleveland.

Sheriff's deputies, fire and EMS responded to the scene. At around 11:30 a.m., deputies confirmed they located the pilot but at the time did not specify his condition.

The Greenville County Coroner's Office a few hours later confirmed one person had died on the scene.
