A paraglider has crashed near the top of the Gondola in Christchurch.
Emergency services were called just before 11.30 this morning.
Fire and Emergency's Ian Littlejohn says a crew was sent from Woolston.
He says firefighters carried the paraglider down to St John Ambulance paramedics in a stokes basket, which is a cage-type stretcher.
Ian Littlejohn believes the person is on the way to hospital in a helicopter.
