A paraglider died last night when he crashed into the sea off Co Antrim.
Emergency services mounted a major air-and-sea rescue when the man, aged 50, crashed into the water at the White Rocks near Portrush.
He was pulled from the water with serious injuries and was taken to the Causeway Hospital at Coleraine. Police later said the man died from his injuries.
It is understood the paraglider crashed close to the shoreline as he tried to land on the beach. The man was one of a number of paragliders in the area at the time.
