EAGLE MOUNTAIN, Utah (AP) — A man who was flying a glider-style aircraft south of Salt Lake City has died in a crash at Cedar Valley Airport.
The victim has been identified as 60-year-old Jeff Knell of Salt Lake City.
Utah County Sheriff's Sgt. Cole Christensen says he went down about 2:20 p.m. Sunday at the airport near Eagle Mountain.
He told KSL-TV (http://tinyurl.com/jwfrbwa) Knell was an experienced flyer in the non-motorized plane and was familiar with the airport.
He says three witnesses reported he appeared to have some trouble in flight before the crash.
