BETHEL (WGME) -- A pilot is safe, and unharmed, after crashing his powered parachute in the Androscoggin River Wednesday night.
Our media partners at the Sun Journal report that two people were flying powered parachutes around 7:15 Wednesday night, when one of them turned around, and found his companion in the Androscoggin River in Bethel.
The victim was able to get to the riverbank unharmed.
Powered parachutes are similar to a go-kart with a large propeller on the back, hanging from a parachute.
The FAA is investigating.
