Pilot suffers minor injuries after ultralight crash on Mt Diablo

MT DIABLO – A pilot walked away from an emergency crash landing on the south side of Mt. Diablo Friday.

State Park officials say the ultralight aircraft made an emergency crash landing in 30 to 40 mile-per-hour winds near Curry Point, a location just northeast of Rock City.

Although the pilot sustained minor injuries in the crash, they did not seek medical attention. No paramedics were dispatched to the location.

Authorities say a helicopter was used to airlift the aircraft to an awaiting flatbed truck at Curry Point. The helicopter battled high wind conditions throughout the recovery effort.

Officials said the incident did not appear to result in any environmental impacts.
