From Reno TV Station:

A glider pilot is in the hospital after he was forced to bail-out of
his plane before it broke apart in mid-air.

Sparks police say Eric Larsen took off in a motorized glider from Inyo
County, California sometime Tuesday morning.

Authorities believe he was forced to deploy his parachute and make a
crash landing due to high winds.

The glider crashed near the intersection of Satellite and Laser Drives.
The winds carried the pilot about two miles and he landed in the
Wingfield area. One part of glider's wings were found a mile north of
the crash site.

Larsen was taken by Careflight to Washoe Medical Center with major
injuries to his legs and lower back. He will be in the hospital for a
few days. His family is from San Diego and are on the way to Reno.
