EDMONTON — RCMP say a glider has crashed in northern Alberta, killing the lone pilot on board. Cpl. Mathew Howell says police responded to the crash in Lamont County, northeast of Edmonton, shortly after 3 p.m. on Monday. He says one person was declared dead at the scene. Police are not releasing details about the pilot because Howell says next-of-kin had not yet been notified. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada says in a statement that the accident involved a privately registered Schleicher ASW 20. The TSB says it is deploying a team of investigators.
