VIDEO: A glider crashed into the side of a mountain in northern Utah Friday afternoon, killing the pilot and starting a wildfire that required a quick response from firefighting crews. Officials with the Morgan County Fire Department and the Mountain Green Fire Protection District said the glider (a fixed-wing aircraft, usually without an engine) crashed into Mahogany Mountain on private land above Bohmann Ranch around 2 p.m. The victim’s name was not released, and the cause of the crash is under investigation. The FAA and NTSB are investigating the crash, and state fire authorities are investigating the blaze.
