A motorised paraglider crashed into a 6 year old child on a Krabi beach over the weekend. The child was rushed to the hospital and the flyer took care of the medical expenses. Now, the flyer could face charges from the Hat Noppharat Thara-Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park officials.

The pilot somehow managed to kick the child in the head. The parents rushed to his help and the pilot also helped as they rushed him to hospital.

Paragliding is illegal on the park’s Klong Muang Beach, according to the park chief. Two other motorised paraglider were in the air when the incident occurred. Other groups flying paragliders have also been seen at the beach. The park chief says he plans to prosecute the flyer and others who violated the park’s rule.
