A 63-year-old British man lost his life during a paragliding accident in the north-eastern region of Catalonia in Spain, according to authorities.

Emergency services were alerted to the incident in the Palau de Noguera area, close to the town of Tremp, at approximately 13:30 local time (14:30 BST) on Wednesday.

Rescuers discovered the man with serious injuries and provided initial first aid until medical personnel reached the scene, but he succumbed to his injuries later.

The UK Foreign Office stated that it is assisting the family of a British man who passed away in Spain.

Palau de Noguera lies near Àger, a spot favored by paragliders and hang gliders at the foothills of the Pyrenees in north-eastern Spain.

Reports from local media indicated that the man seemed to have gotten caught in power lines prior to impacting the ground.

Nevertheless, officials have yet to verify the accident's cause.

The Catalan government noted that three fire brigades along with two medical teams responded to the location.

Additionally, it mentioned that the Mossos d'Esquadra, Catalonia's primary police force, collaborated with five teams from the citizen security and investigation units.

According to local media, authorities planned to notify the man's family via British consular channels.
