EDMONTON – RCMP say a glider has crashed in northern Alberta, killing the lone pilot on board.
Cpl. Mathew Howell says police responded to the crash in Lamont County, northeast of Edmonton, shortly after 3 p.m. on Monday.
He says one person was declared dead at the scene.
Police are not releasing details about the pilot because Howell says next-of-kin had not yet been notified.
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada says in a statement that the accident involved a privately registered Schleicher ASW 20.
The TSB says it is deploying a team of investigators.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 18, 2026.
