A PARAGLIDER had to be rescued from a cliff at London Bridge in Portsea on Saturday, and was brought to safety without incident thanks to a multi effort by emergency services.
Sorrento fire brigade was paged just after 4pm about a paraglider stuck on a cliff, but the drama quickly became a multi‐agency event as CFA, Fire Rescue Victoria, Ambulance Victoria and Victoria Police were all involved to ensure the best outcome for the patient in the quickly fading daylight.
The paraglider was able to be airlifted into the HEMS air ambulance and brought to safety with no life threatening injuries.
