HONOLULU (KHON2) — The Honolulu Fire Department said they responded to an emergency call around 2:40 p.m. on March 11, regarding a downed paraglider on the Puu Kamaileunu Ridge in Waianae.

HFD said it was reported that a group of paragliders were in the area when a bystander witnessed one of them crash into the side of the mountain.
