A paraglider is believed to have crashed into the roof of a hotel in Co Fermanagh.
The incident happened at the Lough Erne Resort near Enniskillen earlier today.
Emergency services were quickly on the scene to try and rescue the paraglider from the roof of the building.
In a statement on their Facebook page earlier today, a spokesperson for the Lough Erne Resort said: “We can confirm that Emergency Services are in attendance as a result of an incident in which a person believed to be flying a paraglider was in collision with the hotel property.
“Apart from the immediate vicinity of the incident, the resort is operating normally and bookings are not affected.
“Until the emergency services have completed their work, access to the resort will be restricted to resort guests and patrons of our restaurants.”
In an update later this afternoon, the Lough Erne Resort spokesperson said the paraglider had been taken to hospital and resort has now been reopened to the general public.
A spokesperson for the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service (NIFRS) said they received a call about the Lough Erne Resort incident at 12.51pm today.
“Three appliances, two from Enniskillen and one from Lisnaskea, the Specialist Rescue Team and a Turntable Ladder are in attendance.
“NIFRS crews have rescued a male from the 2nd floor roof of the hotel, and he is now in the care of NIAS (Northern Ireland Ambulance Service).”
