Deputies said a Houston-area man has been killed in a hang gliding accident in central Florida.
News outlets report 56-year-old Jeffrey Lawrence Bohl, of Tomball, died Saturday in Groveland.
The Daily Commercial reported that Bohl died during the 2016 Quest Air Open National Championships at Sheets Airport. A website for the national competition, which was hosted in Groveland, lists Bohl was listed as a competitor.
A Lake County sheriff's report said Bohl's hang glider was being towed by an airplane, and reached about 30 feet off the ground before crashing into the ground. Bohr was pronounced dead at the scene.
The National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Association were called to investigate.
