Greiling / Bad Tölz -
"Crash of a small plane" was the alarm message at 16.26.

Disaster on the airfield: hang-glider flips over - winch launch did not succeed
The Tölzer police describe the course of the accident as follows: The 56-year-old had already set off on a tandem flight several times this Saturday around 4.20 p.m. with a winch launch.
However, it did not reach the required height, which is why it disengaged itself after about 200 meters and started to land again.
The wheels of the aircraft got stuck in the meadow, which was still wet from the rain of the previous day.
The kite overturned.
