""It is with deep sorrow that I confirm the passing of Sergio Colacevich and Jim Alton in the crash of Sergio’s and Mike Mayo’s Duo Discus yesterday. We have no details of the how or why, only the result, which took place Saturday September 2nd near the base of Slide Mountain in rugged terrain.
We are maintaining constant contact with Amy Colacevich and Millie Alton (who is at the glider port). We will provide updates as they become known.
Please keep both our dear friends in your hearts and prayers.""

If you want rumours, eyewitness reports were that the motor glider was performing aerobatics, under power, in front of people on the mountain, at the hanglider take off, when the motor glider broke up at low ground clearance.
