The incident occurred at around 6.45pm on Friday, August 14 and saw paraglider Timothy Ogden crash into the ground in the field opposite Mam Nic car park, close to Mam Tor.

A number of witnesses stayed at the scene and have been spoken to by officers, however, due to the busy location officers are appealing for anyone who may have photographs or video of the incident to come forward.

If you can help, call Derbyshire Police on 101, quoting reference number 20*423587.
