Default Glider-Airliner Near Miss

This was reported today in an article he http://tinyurl.com/233vbx

The other incident occurred May 5, when Continental Express Flight
2009, an Embraer 145 regional jet en route to Newark, "reported coming
into conflict with a glider 20 miles north of Sparta" at 7,000 feet,
according to the FAA. The closest distance between the jet and glider
was 300 feet vertically and zero miles horizontally, the agency said."

This isn't good! Does anyone have any further details about this
incident?

-John
