A man has been killed in a paragliding accident in the North Okanagan.
A statement from Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP say the 63-year-old victim was an experienced paraglider.
He had just taken off from a flight school near Lumby when police say he "suddenly and unexpectedly collided with the ground."

In July, Canada dodged what was potentially an even bigger blow when the U.S. broadened a policy that would have significantly advantaged the sale of American-made electric vehicles to instead include its NAFTA partners.
When officers arrived, they found an unresponsive man with gunshot wounds, who later died in hospital. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has been deployed, and is working with Chilliwack RCMP.
Officers arrived and located a woman suffering from injuries that appeared to be the result of a stabbing. Police and BC Ambulance Service immediately began lifesaving measures but the woman was later pronounced deceased on scene.
Following the incident, an arrest warrant was issued for Singh, and he was arrested late last month. Singh has been charged with 12 offences, including theft of a motor vehicle, possession of stolen property and flight from a police officer.
